PHP mail function not working on Chopin

[talwyn]

I have a script that is supposed to send out an email using the PHP mail function when someone registers on the site but it's not working properly. I thought at first it was my script but running a generic mail function call with valid email addresses returns true (so it's working properly) but the email is not being sent. Is the mail services down on Chopin right now? Any ideas as to what else it might be or how to fix the problem?

Edit: Did an additional test and it appears that it will only send emails from a local domain email address and not any email address that is specified. This is strange as it is not the default behavior of the function (at least not that I'm aware of). Any idea how this could be fixed?

What version of PHP are you using. Mine worked fine until I upgraded to the latest version x.x.23. Anyway I down graded and tried it again. It did work or a server I paid for so there may be a problem here.

My PHP version on Chopin is 5.2.12. Also, it looks like I finally got bounce backs from where the emails are going to.

It appears that the server IP, 74.63.233.26, is listed as a spammer under Barracuda spamfilter and it wont deliver to addresses with that use it. Great Any ideas as to how we can get this resolved?

You can contact the owner of the baracuda server and ask that the ip you are sending from be whitelisted. Usually this is handled by the owner of the black listed server, aka an x10hosting rep.

Are you given the IP of the baracuda device? Does it only happen on certain domains (it should)?
Better yet, can you copy/paste the bounce back message here?
