so I'm sending people emails using PHP's mail() command but it ends up in their junk folders...
I know that the junk mail filters the subject/body of the email for fishy title/body, but what are some guidelines in composing my subject/body such that they don't get sent to junk mail?
Currently here are my subject/body
subject:
New object request
body:
<p>A new object request has been submitted</p>
<p>Object Info</p>
<ul>
<li>Category: Cat</li>
<li>Object Name: Legitimate Object</li>
<li>Street Address: Legitimate Address</li>
<li>City: Awesome City</li>
<li>State/Country: Country</li>
<li>ZIP/Postal Code: 10001</li>
<li>Website: </li>
<li>Comment: </li>
</ul>
<p>User Info</p>
<ul>
<li>Name: vjaklfjsd2795 cvkljasdfl</li>
<li>Email: vlkafjlsdf@sdafsaf.com31784</li>
<li>UID: 48482</li>
</ul>
using php's mail() and the message got moved to the junk folder...what's wrong with my message and what can I do to improve it?
The inner workings of spam filters is a closely guarded secret - if spammers knew what not to do, they could get around the spam filters.
However, the body of your mail seems to avoid the obvious signs - you're not offering to enlarge anything, or make us rich.
