It's hard to tell what the problem is without seeing the error messages
-- do you get a "bounce"?  Is there anything in your logfile?  Have you
tried set_debuglevel and looking at the output?  If you have information
there, but don't know how to interpret it, post it here and we'll take a
look.

You could try adding the Content-Type header to your own messages.
People configure mailservers in a lot of weird ways, and it's possible
that some mailservers reject emails without a Content-Type header..
