In addition to my other response, I meant to mention that I'm not
familiar with the way you're formatting your From: address, where
you are using parentheses around the e-mail address.

I've always used the form:

Name <e-mail address>

Such as:

Mark Hansen <m...@NOSPAMwinfirst.com>

and I wonder of the way you're doing it is causing some of your problem.

Best Regards.

Wow! The answer was as simple as this? Thank you Mark Hansen, it is
working now! But I was quite sure, I tried this too, to put the <email
address> like that.
