Thanks for the suggestion RvR, looks very helpful. It still seems odd that I was able to use the test_email.php script and the email could go through godaddy's relay and land in my inbox while the emails constructed by elgg ended up not being delivered at all. I just ran the script again through sendgrid and the test script email landed in spam. There are so many variables with this email stuff but I'm learning alot and determined to get this working. Next stop - Postmaster Tools...
