Topic: Emails marked as spam

[Gametaku]

For the site tryvista.com  I have created a form that is used to send emails out to clients.  However gmail and the least marks the site as spam.  The site is not blacklisted, however it is part of a shared hosting service.  I have tried using php's mail function with following code: (with emails modified

Code: (php) [Select]

$header = "To: ted <ted at tryvista.com>\r\n";
    $header .= "Reply-To: Ted <ted at tryvista.com>\r\n";
    $header .= "Return-Path: Ted <ted at tryvista.com>\r\n";
    $header .= "From: Ted <ted at tryvista.com>\r\n";
    $header .= "Organization: My Organization\r\n";
    $header .= "From: ted at tryvista.com";
    $header .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0" .
    $header .=    "\nContent-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
    $title = $_POST['title'];
    $body = $_POST['body'];
    $to = "to;
   $smarty->assign('body', $body);
$message = $smarty->fetch("mail1.tpl");


//$res =mail($to, $title, $message, $header );
   $res = mail($to, $title, $message, $header);

I have also tried using swift runing the basic email test which was also marked as spam.

I don't think the emails in the header are valid in the "name at host".  I think it needs to be "name@host".  I'd have to double check the RFC to be sure though.

first tip is to use a class that's going to format the header's properly for you.

secondly...make sure you have the proper PTR records and SPF records in DNS for the sending host.

Thanks webwhy... Pear has been a pain for me in the past and this is a decent alternative.
