PHPmail problem

Hi,

My phpmail sends to online e-mail companies such as Hotmail and Yahoo...but not to ISP e-mails. Am I correct when I say that I need to change mail() to email() in xoopsmailer.php? And if so where exactly is the line that I edit? Is it this?

// public
function useMail()
{
$this->isMail = true;

I wouldn't think so. If PHPMail were broke, then I'd be thinking these forums would be flooded with support requests. I use the SMTP option myself, but I imagine most sites would be using the PHPMail option. Is it just your ISP you cannot send to, or is it more widespread? The fact that you are able to send to Hotmail and Yahoo show that PHPMailer is working. Can you give some detais of your XOOPS environment (OS, PHP version, dedicated or shared hosting, etc)?

Check with your host. Had a similar problem.
While mail() had worked previously, they suddenly disabled it, supposedly due to spam issues.

Still waiting for it to be implemented again. Quite a pain I can tell you

I just posted the question to them. The question im still wondering is why some e-mail companies can recieve it and some can't?

usually it is either DNS or rules set on the receiveing SMTP server. To reduce SPAM a lot of SMTP servers are configured to do DNS lookups on incoming e-mail.
