inbox mail rather than junk mail

[sungpeng]

$to      = 'sun@hotmail.com'; 
$headers = 'From:sun@hotmail.com' . "\r\n";     
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);  

 

From the above code, it is going to the junk mail.. is it possible for it to go to the inbox mail?

two options

have a play around, try changing the "from" email to a legitimate email and putting a space between From: and sun@hotmail.com,

also you don't need \r\n in the header unless you do another line, i.e. reply-to

 

The example given at http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php is

<?php
$to      = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

 

Another option is to use something like the PHP Mailer class which I have found extremely useful.

http://phpmailer.worxware.com/

[sungpeng]

 'Reply-To: sun@hotmail.com' . "\r\n" . 
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

 

The above code sent a message to inbox not junk mail.. but the result is as follow..

 

From:	 server@hostingserver.com
Sent:	 03 July 2010 20: 13PM
To:	sungpeng@hotmail.com

 

The "FROM" is not "sun@hotmail.com" instead it is "server@hostingserver.com".. can I know is there any solution to it?

[joel24]

change the hostingserver.com domain to your server the script is being run on.

i.e. if you're domain is www.sungpeng.com, change it to whatever@sungpeng.com

 

Is sun@hotmail.com your actual email? Obviously your spam filter is picking it up as spam, probably because its allegedly a email from a hotmail account coming from another domain, although I'm not 100% sure on what triggers said spam filters.
