Postfix on Snow Leopard unable to send MIME emails, including header contents in message body

Question

I configured postfix on snow leopard by adding the following line to /etc/hostconfig:

MAILSERVER=-YES-

I then configured postfix to relay through my ISP's SMTP server. I added the following two lines in their respective places within /etc/postfix/main.cf:

myhostname = 1and1.com
relayhost = shawmail.vc.shawcable.net

I then have a simple PHP mail function wrapper as follows:

send_email("[e-mail]", "[e-mail]", "Test Email", "<p>This is a simple HTML email</p>");
echo "Done";

function send_email($from,$to,$subject,$message){
 $header="From: <".$from.">
";
 $header.= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "
";
 $header.= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "
"; 
 $send_mail=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);
 if(!$send_mail){ echo "ERROR"; }
}

With this, I am receiving an e-mail that appears to be improperly formatted. The message header is showing up in the body of the e-mail. The raw message content is as follows:

<p>This is a simple HTML email</p>

And here are the contents of my /var/log/mail.log file after sending the email:

Two other people in the office have followed the exact same process and are running the exact same script, version of snow leopard, php, etc. and everything is working fine for them. I've even copied their config files to my machine, restarted postfix, restarted apache, all to no avail.

Does anyone know what steps I could take to resolve the issue? This is boggling my mind...

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, as taspeotis mentioned, I fixed it by removing the line "mail.add_x_header = On" from my php.ini

I'll see if I can mark this as the answer.
