I’m working on a site that was recently moved. After the move all the scripts that use the php mail() function AND have MIME-Version: and Content-type in the header fail to display correctly. They show up like this

Delivered-To: asdf@adffdsf.com Received: by 10.114.121.18 with SMTP id t17cs128223wac;

Subject: Retailer Application MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 
From: asdf@asdfad.com

In addition the html in the message shows up raw.

When I use the exact same script to send an email on another server it works as expected. Also the email scripts on the site that use Swift mail work fine.

I could just modify them to use swift but there are many scripts that would have to be edited.

I’m using php 5.1.6.

Any ideas?

    I think your problem is related with \n and QMAIL, the mail function documentation state this.

    Note: If messages are not received,
    try using a LF (\n) only. Some poor
    quality Unix mail transfer agents
    replace LF by CRLF automatically
    (which leads to doubling CR if CRLF is
    used). This should be a last resort,
    as it does not comply with » RFC 2822.

    so you if you header are separated by \r\n you could probably replace those by single \n.

    This bug report also provide a solution using a script.
