The receiving client decides where to store its email, not the sender.

Make sure your email contain things like a valid return address and from address, a message-id, a subject and content that don't look like (i.e. aren't) spam, etc.

done use mail as it will send it from a default strange address beloing to your host.

try PHPMailer - it lets you do a more advanced email sending

Is there any problem in the following code?

$name  = $_POST['Name1'];
$email   = $_POST['Email'];
$body   = $_POST['Body'];

$to = "[e-mail]";

$sub = "Invitation from $name";

	$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n".
			   "Content-type: text/html; charset=windows-1256\r\n".
			   "From:  <".$email.">\r\n".				   
			   "Date: ".date("r")."\r\n";

	mail($to , $sub , $body , $headers);

Try adding a "Message-Id" header. Here's what I use:

$msg_id   = uniqid('') . '@mail.' . $server;
$headers .= 'Message-ID: ' . '<' . $msg_id . '>' . "\r\n";

And add a "Reply-To:" header.

You don't need to put "\r\n" after the last header; the two that are needed will be put on automatically.
