      $payment_type=$_POST['payment_type']; 
      $to='[email protected]'; 
      // subject 
      $subject = 'Reservation detail convenience'; 
      // message 
      $message = ' <html> <head> <title>Reservation Detail Convenience</title> </head>     <body> <table width=100% cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4"> <tr><td width="30%" >Name :</td><td>'.$fname.'</td></tr> <tr><td>Email :</td><td>'.$remail.'</td></tr> <tr> <td>Phone :</td><td>'.$rphone.'</td></tr> <tr><td>Pick up Date:</td><td>'.$pick_up_date.'</td></tr> <tr><td>Pick up Time:</td><td>'.$pick_up_time.'</td></tr> <tr><td>Taxi Type:</td><td>'.$taxitype.'</td></tr> <tr><td>Pick Up location:</td><td>'.$ploc.'</td></tr> <tr><td>Drop Of Location:</td><td>'.$dloc.'</td></tr> <tr><td>Passanger No:</td><td>'.$passangerno.'</td></tr> <tr><td>Luggage No:</td><td>'.$luggageno.'</td></tr> <tr><td>Comment:</td><td>'.$comment.'</td></tr> <tr><td>Payment:</td><td>'.$payment_type.'</td></tr> </table> </body> </html> '; 
      // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set 
      $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; 
      $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; 
      // Additional headers 
      $headers .= 'From: Convernience<Convernience>' . "\r\n"; 
      if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){ 
          $to=$remail; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 
          echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Reservation successfully');</script>"; 
      }else{ 
          echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Sorry please try again');</script>"; 
      } 
  }

I believe the from: portion has to be RFC 2822-compliant (an email address format). See Here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

This is normal. It really depends on the web server where you are hosting and the email service you are using. Research your hosting where you use the mail function. Most likely this happens because you pretend to send the message from person who fills up the form on your website and the mail server detects it as fraudulent... my guess... when I had the same problem and did some poking around.

Hope this was helpful.
