Sending an email to Outlook with PHP form

I'm trying to send an email to an outlook address with a PHP form. The form is pretty basic, it just grabs variables, formats the email and sends it to the address. I can get it to send to my web based email, but they don't make it to the Outlook addresses I try. Is there any particular code I need to use in order to make it so Outlook can accept the email? Any ideas? Thanks,

outlook is just a mail client. When you send an email you can send it to anyone. read about swiftmailer or phpmailer to send email

If I send an email to a gmail account I receive the email to an Outlook address I don't. So something has to be different, I'm not an expert with Outlook so I don't know if I need to add the from address or some sort of rule to allow the email.

hello,
There is no such thing as an outlook address. There is only an email adress.
When you configure the Outlook program you specify your email server configuration. gmail offers pop and imaps accounts. You an configure outlook to retrieve those emails from your gmail account directly to outlook.
