Mail() Function Sends To Junk Folder On Hotmail
The following mail is sent in a PHP script via the mail() function whenever the user changes their password on our site. the following mail headers were taken from the recipients hotmail account...the mail is delivered to the account but is placed in the 'junk' folder even though it is not a spam email.
The mail works and is placed in the user's inbox in aol/yahoo/outlook express. I understand that this is a common problem with hotmail. How can i get around this problem so that we can send mail and it will be delivered to the users inbox in hotmail? Code:

Email Keeps Going To Junk Mail In Hotmail/gmail
Recently i got a dedicated server (running CentOS), and im trying to send emails using a php to hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc..

Sending Mail To Hotmail Using The Mail() Function
I have been doing some research into how to send mail to a Hotmail address using the mail() function provided in PHP, in previous posts I may have been wrong in mentioning that you need to add your mail server to the hotmail PostMaster website using Smart Network Data Services (SNDS), after doing some research I have found that in order to send e-mail to a Hotmail address you need to add/ask your host to add an SPF record to your domain. What is SPF? Well, SPF is a protocol used to eliminate forged e-mails, much like SSL certificates help eliminate phising websites. Microsoft use the SPF record against the SenderID Framework that they have in place. How do I go about obtaining an SPF Record? Easy! use the Microsoft wizard found at: http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/safety/content/technologies/senderid/wizard/ to generate a unique SPF record for your domain, then add it to your DNS server, or ask your web host to do this. I manage my own DNS server, how do I add an SPF record to a domain? To begin, open the DNS MMC from the Administrative Tools menu of your Windows Server 2003 system. Next, find the domain that will host the SPF DNS lookup record. Highlight the folder for the domain, and select Other New Records from the Action menu. You can also access this menu by right-clicking the domain folder. The resource Record Type dialog box will be displayed. From the Select a Resource Record Type area of the screen, scroll down the list and select Text (TXT) from the list. Click Create Record. This will bring up the New Resource Record dialog box to appear. This is where you paste the SPF record generated by the above website ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope this helps, I have tried it myself and e-mails went straight to my inbox (not junk mail). Would also appreciate feedback if this works for other providers such as Yahoo! etc as I have not tried it with them Give me your feedback on how it works for you, also if it works possibly make this thread sticky as I'm sure it will resolve many problems for people out there who are denying access to people who have public email addresses.

Email Sends With Mail() Function But Arrives Blank
The TextInputForm.html form and WorkMail.php script below work fine. But there is one exception. If the "maxlength" variables for the text input boxes in the HTML form below are increased any more than the current settings the e-mail won't work right. What will happen is the e-mail will send but when it arrives it will be blank when viewed in the e-mail client. For example, if the "maxlength" in the "AnyConcerns" text input box below is increased to 175 or above, and if all of the text boxes on the HTML form are full of text, the e-mail will arrive blank. The "echo" statements on the WorkMail.php script below work fine. If the "maxlength" settings on the text boxes are too high (resulting in a blank e-mail) the "echo" statements will still print out all of the input in the browser. That indicates that the $Data string is processing all the way through to the SendMail() function below. I was thinking that maybe, in order to guard against persons sending spam, the ISP has set the hosting server to limit the amount of text that can be sent in any one e-mail. Does anyone know what might be the problem? PHP Code:

But if I use non-existent email and yahoo receiver email, then the mail is delivered correctly. What's with hotmail?

Sends SMTP Mail From Database Info

Two of the selections in the dropdown list are groups. My script works fine when the user selects only one recipient. I run into trouble when the user selects one of the two groups. The message ends up getting sent numerous times to the people in the group. I received the message 9 times. I think the script is looping more times than it should. Does this make sense so far?

Sends A Mail Message When A User Registers
how to get around having our website emails being sent straight to yahoo (and probably hotmail) bulk mail folders. My website sends a mail message when a user registers to both the user and ourselves. Similar when a user changes their password/account info. At present, the mail is pretty simple. For example: mail($email,"Your my_domainname_here account has been updated",$user_message ,"From: my_domainname_here.com"); Ive come across a few other posts with the same problem, does anyone have any updated suggestions? Maybe changing the from header to include an email address? How do message board sites format their email when they send out an email after you change your account info etc? Im looking at some of the headers in my yahoo inbox and there is a piece called "Authentication-Results". I think im going to have to dive in and learn about all the different email header elements.

Mail() Not Reaching Hotmail
I am trying to use the mail() function to send a simple, text-only message. I have two websites hosted by the same company, on different servers. One is old and established, one I am currently developing. I am testing the mail functionality by sending a test message to an email account associated with my old website, and to my hotmail account. The message seems to be sent to both accounts, and I receive the message on my website's email account, but it never reaches my hotmail account. Are there any special headers required for hotmail? I've looked around a bit, and can't seem to figure it out. I've even tried including several different headers, but always with the same results - reaches my website's email account, but not my hotmail account. The code I am using to test is: <?php $body = 'Hello from the internet mail tubes!' $subject = 'Test message' $address = 'working_address@other_domain.com' $address2 = 'working_address@hotmail.com' $headers = "From: working_address@this_domain.com"; mail($address, $subject, $body, $headers) or print "Can not deliver to $address."; print "Done with $address.<br>"; mail($address2, $subject, $body, $headers) or print "Can not deliver to $address2."; print "Done with $address2.<br>"; ?>

Mail() Function - Using The Mail() Function To Send Emails To Members Of A Website
I am using the mail() function to send emails to members of a website. For some reason when I include words such as "free" or "winner" the mail does not send to any of the addresses - it just seems to disappear in space. I figured this out by trial and error - once I removed those words, it worked. I am running cPanel on the server and have no problem sending emails as long as they don't use those words. It seems to be blocking certain words - ones that I assume spammers would use.
