Gmail + SMTP + Linux + Email library

If you are using PHP with the Suhosin patch HTML email will be dropped at your server. If you check your server logs you'll see a message like:

ALERT - mail() - double newline in headers, possible injection, mail dropped (attacker 'xxx.xxx.xxx', file '/path/to/codeigniter/system/libraries/Email.php', line 1519)

The simple way to resolve this is to edit your php.ini. Change

Code:

suhosin.mail.protect = 1

to

Code:

suhosin.mail.protect = 0

This is why email seems to work perfectly with mailtype = text and not with mailtype = html.
