[RESOLVED] Email Spam

[Shawazi]

I send my e-mails with a function like this:

function sendEmail($from_email, $to, $subject, $content)
{
	$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
	$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
	$headers .= "From: $from_email"; 
	$content = stripslashes($content);
	mail($to, $subject, $content, $headers, "-f$from_email");
}

The problem is I send and receive e-mail from @domain.com. However if I send an e-mail using this script from [e-mail], the webmail app thinks it is junkmail. The question is, has anyone overcome the problem of e-mails accidentally being put as spam.

1. Have you added an SPF record for your domain that authorized your mailserver to send mail from it?

2. Try adding some other headers, e.g. Content-Type and Reply-To.

I've never heard of an SPF record. You have to enlighten me. 🙂

Here's an introduction to what SPF is.
