I don’t know how you are sending those emails but the error is quite obvious:

`"admin@onegayplatform" <>: missing or malformed local part`

The email address should be inside `<>` and the name inside `""`, for example:

`"Admin" <admin@onegayplatform>`

Seems i misstyped it in my example, the header **from** should be:  
`"Admin <admin@onegayplatform.com>"`

Or without quotes:  
`Admin <admin@onegayplatform.com>`

You are including the date, content-type, etc. in **from** header and those should have their own headers. I don’t know what is the email client you are using but it is not doing a good job 😉

Sorry but built-in where? PHP?

If it is PHP, seems you are not formatting the headers correctly.

Example:

```auto
<?php
$to = "somebody@example.com, somebodyelse@example.com";
$subject = "HTML email";

$message = "
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML email</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This email contains HTML Tags!</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>Doe</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
";

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: <webmaster@example.com>' . "\r\n";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
?>

```

Check your PHP code that sends the email…

Or use phpmailer …
