Dear Monks,

I've been using sendmail to send registration emails to users on our site, and had no problem until recently. Now, certain users (notably people on comcast.net, yahoo.com, and verizon.net) are not receiving emails from our server.

has anyone else encountered this problem? I know quite a few of you recommend using Mail::Sendmail - does that simply use the sendmail function, or might it possibly fix this problem?

appreciate any feedback, since many of my users are getting frustrated (as am I!!)

one additional piece of information - i suspected that the mails might be going to spam filters, but i tested it using my own comcast account, and it simply never comes through! nothing in the spam, or anywhere. i'm checking with a yahoo account (don't have verizon to check it)

thanks,
janaki
