mail() function and Hotmail !

Hello everybody,

My probleme is when i send an email using the integrated php mail fuction.. it go to junkmail..

is there any method to solve this probleme ?

i heared about using good headers.. i used alot of examples but none is working


Can you please help with this !
Thank You.

 

You need the from address to be the same as the sendmail address in the php.ini file or big ISPs will indeed junk it.

 

how can i get it ?

 

Open php.ini in an editor, find sendmail_from and edit the line or whatever.

 

Use phpmailer, it usually gets emails past the junk mail filter.

 

i use Shared hosting..

danielbruzual i want to use mail() in my script..

 

You probably should send the correct email headers, which you should be able to recycle from phpmailer (I'm not sure).

	$eol="\n"; 
	$emailsubject="Here's An Email From Your Site-".date("Y/m/d H:i:s"); 
	$headers = 'From: '.$from.' <'.$email.'>'.$eol;
	$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$from.' <'.$email.'>'.$eol;
	$headers .= 'Return-Path: '.$from.' <'.$email.'>'.$eol;   
	$headers .= "Message-ID: < TheSystem@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].">".$eol;
	$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP v".phpversion().$eol;          // This helps avoid spam filters

	mail($emailaddress, $emailsubject, $msg, $headers);

Code (markup):

just give a value to the variables and it should work.

 

mail ($mail2who, $subject, $mesaJ ) ;

// dont write from parameter to learn default mail address

 

I've had good luck using these headers added on:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

/* additional headers */

$headers .= "From: your site email address \r\n";

/* and now mail it */

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

best,

Jan
