PHP mail() function and spam filters

[giveasyouget]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to implement the PHP mail() function on my site but messages keep getting gettting put in my bulk mail folder. This may be because I've deleted several messages from the site in the past, but i honestly can't remember whether this was while on the current server or on the last one, so i dunno if it's doing it by ip or because i'm not sending enough headers or something.

Can anyone give me an idea of the headers they include when mailing with PHP, please?

many thanks,

Jonny

$headers="From: You <you@site.com>\nReturn-Path: <you@site.com>\r\nTo: Them <them@site.com>\r\nReply-To: You <you@site.com>\n";

should get through okay

so you'd have...

mail(them@site.com, "Subject", $emailbody, $headers);

Thanks dan - i think it was either the missing return path or the fact that teh body of the mail only contained 4 words, but it's working now.
Cheers,

I still get quite a few issues with OLBG registrations with people saying that the email is empty or that the link doesnt work (e.g. its corrupted).

Does anyone have a robust set of headers they use that work

As well as the standard ones in Dans post above Ive come across mention of all sorts of others that Im not sure if they are useful to me or not. e.g.


MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
X-Mailer: PHP 4.x

Anyone know what the significance of these are?

Also does anyone have experience of whether to separate headers with "\n" or "\r\n"
