What I believe, and as pointed out at http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html. mail servers require each line to end with a \r\n ( CARRIAGE RETURN + LINE FEED) not just \n(LINE FEED). So, try appending a "\r\n" to the end of each line ( mail headers and body) in your PHP script and see if that fixes it.
If you can post the php mail code you are using to send mail, then probably some one can figure out more precisely where you are missing the CR. Alternatively, use phpmailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ ) its a nice program that will does all these dirty work..
