mail() function help

I writing a script to send emailing using php and the mail() function.
All of the codes is tested on a different server than I am currently
using and works. The code I am using now works but it will not send
email to .edu addresses. Has anyone ever heard of this? Could this be a
problem with my php.ini file? Do I need additional headers that I don't
have? Any thoughts would be of service. Like I said I've gotten it to
work on a different server, I do not have access to that php.ini file
but I now have access to my current servers php.ini file if that is
where the problem lies. mail() sending emails fine to .com addresses
(from what I can gather, sends them to gmail and hotmail) but like I
send not .edu address.

When using a *nix system, check your local sendmail configuration, as the
only thing the mail function does, is relaying the message to the sendmail
binary/wrapper.

On Windows systems, contact your provider (if you use their smtp server).

would it be in the sendmail.mc file? do you know why it would deliver
to gmail.com but i would not receive on my .edu mail server? any
guesses on where this setting might be?
