    hi,

    I have written a script where user enters his name and email id and than he gets the password in his email but during testing I realized that the mails are going in bulk folder(yahoo) even though I am using user's name in subject line. What can I do to stop this ?

    I am asking this in gm section because I know there are people here who know how to avoid this :)

    Thanks

    Your best bet, would be to let the users know about this, and tell them to either add you to their "Friends List" or to check their spam folder.

    Thats not the problem .. emails from my users sent via my server go to my bulk folder.

    So I often miss them

    Yahoo! Mail is defnintely a challenge - I have an account that I use for some of my communications, and occasionally, messages I BCC myself on end up in my Bulk folder. :rolleyes:

    The only suggestion I can make is to avoid any words that may trigger the spam filter, e.g. "free", "win", etc.

    HTH,
    Sam
