Hi all, got a slight problem with the mail function in php.

Im getting the email addresses from a database. Any email address that does ont end in @gmail.com will send fine. But when the email address is to @gmail.com, the email will never be recieve?

Has any1 got any idea why this might be? Have gmail stopped programmers using the php mail function to send emails to their users?

Any help with this issue would be much appreciated

Sorry, my mistake. I have recieved the email to the gmail account but its located in my spam folder. How would I go about getting an email to be placed in the inbox folder and not into the spam folder.

Any ideas?

Which headers are you setting? From .. Reply-To etc?
I've not had a problem sending to GMail if the From header is set (never tried without it).

here is the header that i am using:

$headers = ('From: support@bewisebets.co.uk' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: support@bewisebets.co.uk' . "\r\n" .
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");

To use Gmail as Relay SMTP Service it can be done easly, look at this: http://www.xpertmailer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48

This is going to depend on what you are sending. If it looks like spam and smells like spam it will be put in the spam folder. This isn't something that you get to control when you send people email.

People receiving your messages, if they want them, can configure their email client to realize that your messages are not spam...
