php mail always ending in spam

[piphansdk]

Hi.

 

I searched the entire page for a topic, as i thought it must have ben asked before, but unfortunately i couldn't seem to find anything at all

so, i created a perfectly working email, sending as

registration@egmun.org
to: someonesmail@something.com
Cc: my own
Bcc: my friends email

every email will recieve the mail, but they all turnsout to be spam/junk, any idea how to fix/byass this? as the email is sending important informations to our fellow schools.

If it comes from a local machine(127.0.0.1) it's most likely going to end up in spam.

 

If not you need to make sure you're using a valid email address and that you are using the appropriate headers.

And check out this relative post that others found useful on stackoverflow:

Are you hosting this on your local machine or on a cheap shared web host?

Many cheap shared host ips are blacklisted for spam as they attract spammers because there price point.

 

I also found if the email lacks in content it may get sent to the spam.

Hence why you check your headers so they don't get sent to spam but even then that isn't 100% effective but it helps alot.
