PHP - Php(mail) Function And Spam Filters
Hello everyone,
I have website that uses the php(mail) function to notify users when something happens on their account. The site was created for a school district so all the users are district employees where their incoming email is subject to pretty strict spam filtering. I am using headers to indicate to the recipient that the email is coming from support@mysite.com, but I guess the mail servers see past this and recognize that it's coming from a php(mail) function. Because of this, all of the emails being sent are being blocked by the filter. I've tried adding all emails coming from an address that ends with "@mysite.com" but this doesn't work. This is what the addresses look like that the spam filter is actually seeing: elmas156@p3nlhftpg049.shr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net And I can't just add a single address to the white list because each time an email is sent, the letters and numbers after "@" and before "secureserver.net" are different. Here's another address that shows up: elmas156@p3nlhg331.shr.prod.phx3.secureserver.net here is the code that I'm using to send the emails: Code: [Select] <?php $sendto = "$email"; $emailsubject = "Testing Message Report For $cdate."; $emailmessage = "This is a test email."; // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; // Additional headers $headers .= 'From: MySite.com Report <support@mysite.com>' . "\r\n"; // Mail it mail($sendto, $emailsubject, $emailmessage, $headers); ?> Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to make every email sent to be recognized by the spam filter as coming from the same email instead of a bunch of random ones? I hope this is making sense to someone because it was very difficult for me to explain in writing. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Hello Everyone I have written a simple mail function to be emailed to a certain person on submission. On submission they would also like to have attachments sent to them.

If order placed mail send to abc@gmail.com. I want :
1) If SKU starts with 2, email should go to the mail id abc@gmail.com,
2) If SKU starts with 3, email should go to the mail id xyz@gmail.com,
3) If SKU starts with 4, email should go to the mail id qwe@gmail.com,
FYI - If an order contains 10 items email should go separately based on SKU. But an order id the same must include all the emails.
Hello there, I've come across a issue with using PHP's mail function due to the fact I've tried a assortment of different headers yet Hotmail continues to place my sent emails in the junk folder. Here is my method of emailing my clients: function Email($AccountID, $Subject, $Message) { if($this->IsValidAccount($AccountID)) { $Account = $this->AccountKeys($AccountID); $headers .= 'To: '.$Account['account_client'].' <'.$Account['account_email'].'>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= "From: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; $headers .= "Return-Path: no-reply@X-Host.co.uk\r\n"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; $headers .= "Organization: X-Host\r\n"; echo $Account['account_email']. $Subject. $Message; return mail($Account['account_email'], $Subject, $Message, $headers); } else return InvalidAccount; } So could anybody help me out please and tell me what headers I should be using. Hi all, I'm coding an automated mailer for a dentist office. They set appointment dates through a web interface, and then this appointment is mailed to the customer via PHP's mail() function. However, some users are not receving the mail. They claim that it is not even in the junk mail folder. Is it because I'm setting or not setting certain properties in the header? Should I be setting something else? Here is my code Code: [Select] ini_set("SMTP", "mail.isp-provider.net"); $headers = 'From: Schedule Manager <schedule@address.com>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: Schedule Manager <schedule@address.com>' . "\r\n" . 'Bcc: internal@address.com' . "\r\n" . 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); mail($customerAddress, $subject, $body, $headers); Note that customerAddress, subject, and body are all just regular normal strings. As I said, it works for most customers, but some customers do not receive the emails. Hello all, I used simple php email function but it send an email in junk folder or spam.

I'm not sure what I'm missing. Code: [Select] $from = "Kithell <notifications@kithell.com>"; $headers = "From:" . $from ."\r\n"; $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' .

The problem i am facing is that the function "$mail->Send()" is echoing the smtp server response.How can i stop this function from echo'in anything. Please reply asap. is there a way to make a mail function submit only once? so that if you go forward a page, then back, it won't resubmit? how do I make a link to the correct fpdf file that will be created.......I want to know how I can have an email sent, and then I put a link into the email which looks like: <a href="/ticket.php?eventid=' . $eventid . '">Ticket</a>. does this make sense? do I have to save the document on the server to do this? It just so happens that I have never used the PHP mail() function and i believe i've hit my first major snag. So if any of you brilliant minds out there can just take a second to error check the following code id GREATLY appreciate it! The db is connected earlier and i KNOW all the vars work because the script worked before i stuck in the mail() section. //REVISE else{ $q = mysql_query("INSERT INTO account (Username, Firstname, Lastname, Email, Active, User_type, User_language, User_registration, Pass) VALUES('$username', '$firstname', '$lastname', '$email', '$active', '$type', '$language', '$today', '$password')") or die(mysql_error()); $id = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM account WHERE Username = '$username'"); $message = "Welcome to the exciting world of Star Wars Galaxies : A New Hope!

No errors, but no mail either. Thanks in advance guys! How do I include .$email to the mail function. this is my current code: mail($to, $subject, "", $headers); I want do it like this; mail("me@myweb.com".$email, $subject, "", $headers); Thanks Bickey. Hi, I'm trying to do an email from a website and it won't work. It's my first time using mail function, so I'm not sure why it is not working.

There is reason to believe that they sometimes don't work. Is this a normal behavior for this? We've been "discussing" whether or not they work for about 2 - 3 days and in most instances they do. However we've had 1 person fill them out and then we never received the emails. I was wondering if some of the people that have worked with php for a longtime have ever had any experience with this type of thing happening. how do i alter this code so that the recipients don't see other email addresses ? <?php
foreach(array('email1','email2','email3','youremail','yourname') as $key) $_POST[$key] = strip_tags($_POST[$key]);
