Phpmailer going to spam

[eskimopest]

I've working on a script to send emails with phpmailer and everything works fine but on a live server, goes to spam. This is my code:

 

    // SEND EMAIL CODE
    include('vendor/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
    include('vendor/class.smtp.php');

    $email = new PHPMailer();

    $email->IsSMTP();
    $email->SMTPAuth = true;
    $email->SMTPKeepAlive = true;
    $email->Host = 'hostname';
    $email->Port = 465;
    $email->Username = 'my_username@host.com';
    $email->Password = 'my_pass';

    $email->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
    $email->setFrom('my_email@host.com', 'name');
    $email->addReplyTo('my_email@host.com', 'name');
    $email->Subject   = $subject;
    $email->Body      = $message;

    // set the emails to send the message
    foreach($emails_to as $mail) {
        $email->addAddress($mail);
    }
    // send the email
    if(!$email->Send()) {
        echo "Message was not sent <br />PHPMailer Error: " . $email->ErrorInfo;
    }
    else {
        echo "Message has been sent";
    }

    $mail->clearAddresses();
    $mail->clearAttachments();

 

 

 

What am i doing wrong? could it be that the name of setFrom() is not set properly?

Please help. Tks in advance

Simply using PHPMailer does not mean your emails will go through.

 

You have to find out why it went to spam. Does the From address not match the actual sender address? Did the email fail SPF validation? Does the email look spammy?

Also, whose SMTP server are you're using? Your own? Then you should double-check the configuration of the server itself and check if the IP address is on any of the common blacklists (Spamhaus etc.) due to prior abuse.
