PHP Mail

[Florx]

Hey,

All the PHP mail I send out (e.g. mail(); ) goes straight to spam.

Anyway I can combat this e.g. set headers or something?

Thanks,
Jake.

Try changing the From: headers? It might just be your E-mail provider's filter tho?

GoogleMail and Hotmail both filter as spam.

It will be there sender application header, try to change it.

No they don't? It probably has something to do with the content/subject/headers of the message being sent and your spam/junk filtering settings on your email account.

How the hell can an Email provider block a PHP Function - I think it's because of the hostname/ as when you use it, it's from

[email protected]

(This is basically the format, I got this from my web hosting acc as a test more or less.)

[email protected]

an Email provider can't block a php function, and microsoft don't even use php, they'd have to use it too block it?

I used headers off of PHP.net and edited them to my needs.



$msg = "Message..."
$subject = "Mail";
$headers = 'From: '.$email . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$email . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($email, $subject, $msg, $headers);

I think it's cause of this bit:

'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

No, that helps avoid spam, using x-mailer.

I'm having trouble avoiding spam too, and I set a lot of headers using a mailing class.

I don't understand to be honest ;S.

If anyone has some tips please say :)

Use SMTP, simple.

I'm on SMTP. My moneys on somethings wrong with my headers. =/

Is it less spam-going if my x-mailer is phpver, or my system? It's set as my system right now.

Remove X-Mailer or set it as Thunderbird or something

you're kidding right?

[Agnostic Bear]

you're kidding right?

If you can't see that I'm kidding you need to get out.

Find a new insult, you have worn "get out", extremely out. Isn't funny anymore.

You're still failing hard at grammar.

Why does every thread turn into an arguement.

You do not have the right of reply because:

a) It's a rhetorical question,
b) I'm closing the thread.

Thanks for your help :).
