[HELP] PHP Mail going to Junk?

[Thom]

Hai! I am messing about with PHP Mail, and I was wondering what headers I would need to use to stop it going to the junk/spam parts of many emails.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I use the following headers:

        $headers  = 'From: ' . $from . ' <' . $email . '>' . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0';

        $headers  = 'From: ' . $from . ' <' . $email . '>' . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . $email . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0';

$from and $email are what?

From is the name (i.e. ShareFast), and email is the email (i.e. [email protected]).

Even after this it's still going to junk at live/hotmail
Any more ideas?

Is the email address that you are sending from the same as the domain?

Are you send emails from a top level domain?

I was having a similar problem earlier in work. I added this line of code and it seemed work:

ini_set( "sendmail_from", "[email protected]" );

Change '[email protected]' to whatever email you're sending from. Try putting that in a global file and including the file in the file with your mailing script. It seemed to work for now.

However now I'm having a different problem -- Microsoft Outlook won't retrieve emails to certain email addresses so I'm trying to figure out why.
