Hello everyone,
I know you've noticed that I am not quite often blogging, but I am and will try to post interesting tech stuff here.
Today's topic: Sending email to Hotmail account from PHP.
Sounds easy. Some of will say "just use PHP's mail() function with correct headers". Yeah, but not. :)
I read almost all posts on this topic around the net with no success. So finally I started trying and trying ... after the 5th or 6th hour (God bless I started in the morning of the day else I would probably throw my MacBook out of the window) I managed to send emails to Hotmail successfully!
Hints:
1) Do NOT put any "a href" tags in the email
2) Put ONLY email address in the TO: and FROM: headers of the email
If you do one of the above your email won't even be in the Junk!
or it will go to Junk! folders in Hotmail accounts
That's it! Enjoy! :)
Ouh, I forgot to mention that I wanted to send HTML emails. ;-)
