mail() function sending emails trapped by IMF

[martintillbrook@gmail.com]

I am using the simple mail() fucntion in a php script but the emails
that are being generated and being trapped by Microsoft Exchange server
2003 Inteligent message filter as having an SCL rating of 7 or 8, the
highest possible being 9.

This is causing me problems getting the emails delivered to people!!

Can anyone help me?

talk to your mail administrator to allow email from these servers. also
ensure that sendmail has been properly configured. If your server needs
to authenticate to an upstream mail server, consider using phpmailer
(google search will find it)

Do you send each message indiviaually or broadcast messages with long
lists of recepients in the "To:" or "Bcc:" field? The latter is very
likely to cause trapping...

Talk to the peson who administers the Exchange Server and figure out
why that happens. Then form your message so as to prevent it from
happening. Failing the long recipient list assumption discussed above,
the Exchange server probably doesn't like some of the headers in your
messages or the absence of certain headers...
