Re: Sent mails don't arrive in Outlook Exchange mailboxes!

From my experience in dealing with our Exchange administrator, any
emails that are dynamically created and "faked" (send an email from
someone@business.com when the domain the message is sent is not from
the business.com network) is automatically blocked and marked as spam.
This is a huge spam preventative measure. Unfortunately it works well.
They typically refuse to disable this, and also typically refuse to
allow an external domain access to send to them.

An alternative solution would be to send the email as
"donotreply@example.com" (replace "example.com" with your own domain)
and try setting the "Reply To" header so that a reply will go to the
intended party that created the email from your service.

I haven't personally tried this yet, but as long as Exchange will
honor the "reply to" header (I don't see why not), then it should be
OK.

I know they are sent because I am bcc'd, but they don't get them. It seems as if it is a problem outside of Cake/PHP and more likely an internal mail server issue. We are trying to track this one down at the moment and I will feedback anything we discover.
