I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

can we see the code for your script that uses the mail() function?

chances are its either a setting w/ your hosts mail server or your domain name is black listed.  maybe just the format of your e-mail body (or subject line) makes it look like spam.  are they e-mails not showing up at gmail or are they in the spam folder?
