    Here are the options:
    Mail() function
    SendMail
    SMTP

    Is there any specific method that is more often not regarded as spam?

    It's not really the method in my opinion that gets things marked as spam...but personally I use mail().

    Just make sure you use full and proper headers.

    What will get you marked for spam is triggering filters with keywords. Most mail won't get blocked either way, unless you happen to be working on some sort of Viagra newsletter.

    well i'm sending out proxies... and sometimes my spam blocker (send it to my own email) reads it as spam.
    so i guess there is no preference between sending method?

    use proper headers
    don't use lots of links on body
    be descriptive while writing the body contents
    don't use porn related things
    make sure you Ip is not blacklisted on different spam databases

    I think that's all you have to take care of
