goldfiles Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I've been using the mail() function in php to send all of my site emails, but they ALWAYS 100% get junked in a spam folder. I've done some research and it looks like SwiftMailer is a good alternative. Has anyone used swiftmailer, is it easy? Also, I'm on a shared host, so is this something I can install myself?

goldfiles Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Also, what is all this about SMTP authentication that I'm reading?

jonsjava Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 is the web server in the MX records for the domain it is sending as? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/101921-php-mail-avoiding-the-spam-folder/#findComment-521655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsjava Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 from windows cmd: nslookup -t MX example.com change example.com to the domain you are sending as if the domain your script is located on is not in the list, you are gonna get bounced to the spam folder because that server can't send for that domain.

goldfiles Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 textadmarket.com is my domain. Is that something my host can do for me? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/101921-php-mail-avoiding-the-spam-folder/#findComment-521779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsjava Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 you'll need to get in touch with the people who take care of your name servers (your hosting agency) and have them set their mx records for you. as of right now, you have an empty set for your MX record. just ask them to set a MX record with the value of "textadmarket.com" in your DNS records.

haku Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I use phpmailer, and find that it only ends up in junkmail boxes if the person has their junk mail filter set to a high level. I have set it up as SMTP, and entered my username and password so that it sends as a verified mail.
