The mails I sent to folks in my database using mail(function) are going in spam??

 

Any idea how I rectify this issue?

I've had a similar issue, have to tried setting the global header in the form?

 

like

<?php
mail($to, $subject, $message, "From $email");
?>

Usually adding the proper header insures it does not go into the spam or bulk folder on most mail services.

I am using a header like this, but still no help ??

 

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: name@mysite.com' . "\r\n";
mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $headers);

 

Any more ideas?

Ok i got this from other site

 

the recipient’s spam filter checks if all headers exist in sender’s email and since you are using simple mail() function it will be almost with empty header so that means high risk of spam  to solve that problem you need to use some more complicated mailer class

and the best solution is to use gmail account as SMTP relay

 

How can I optimize my header more

I've seen this problem too on my site. I noticed, when the FROM address is too long, name or address ( such as name00000000@mysite.com ) It'll go to spam, but if it short, it wouldn't.

 

As for headers, yours are 100% fine. There is no 'header'. Webhosts us a single SMTP server most of the time, and if that is blacklisted (another site on host sent spam) than yours is affected as well, possibly not being able to be whitelisted.

My from name is five letter xxxxx@ideatoceo.com

 

I think I should request Godaddy to set me up on different IP ? Any ideas?

Will making my emails as High priority avoid them from going in 'spam'

 

..
..
..
        $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ; 
        $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n"; 
        $headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Higuest)\n"; 
        $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n"; 
        $headers .= "Importance: High\n"; 

$status   = mail($to, $subject, $message,$headers); 

 

my emails are still going in spam, help me

In my hosting provider service(godaddy) I have edited my spf value

 

v=spf1 a mx ptr ip4: xx.xx.xxx.xxx  mx:mailstore.server.net mx:smtp.server.net +all

 

My SRV or AAAA records under DNS are still empty. Do I need to edit that too?

 

[redarrow]

Spam can be caused from load of server settings, the server that sends the email might be on a national spam database and blocked......

 

if a dns record is incorrect it can be that aswell.

 

if sending a email via php and the dns record don't match the domain name also cause spam.

 

 

emample

 

www.me.com <<< main server with mail server integrated and dns set up correctly.

any word here@me.com <<< will work correctly.

if you're on a shared host, chances are your ip reputation has been shot to hell. have your users add you to their safe senders list.
