Mail gets junked via Hotmail (PHP's Mail function)

[ChrisMartino]

Hello there,

 

I've come across a issue with using PHP's mail function due to the fact I've tried a assortment of different headers yet Hotmail continues to place my sent emails in the junk folder.

 

Here is my method of emailing my clients:

 

function Email($AccountID, $Subject, $Message)
{
	if($this->IsValidAccount($AccountID))
	{
		$Account = $this->AccountKeys($AccountID);

		$headers .= 'To: '.$Account['account_client'].' <'.$Account['account_email'].'>' . "\r\n";

		$headers .= "From: X-Host <[email protected]>\r\n"; 
		$headers .= "Reply-To: X-Host <[email protected]>\r\n"; 
		$headers .= "Return-Path: [email protected]\r\n"; 
		$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
		$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; 
		$headers .= "Organization: X-Host\r\n";
		echo $Account['account_email']. $Subject. $Message;

		return mail($Account['account_email'], $Subject, $Message, $headers);
	}
	else return InvalidAccount;
}

 

So could anybody help me out please and tell me what headers I should be using.

I also have this problem.

Hotmail will send you emails to the junk folder if a lot of people are sending them to junk on receiving them.

 

Not advising, advertising, or etc.  This just explains the process Hotmail uses.  Any action taken by you, is your business.

try mailto: instead of to:

 

 

if that does not work try adding  from: header that is more specific

I'm unaware of a valid email header 'mailto'. Where is that defined?
