Hi guys,

I need a small help with php mail function. The thing is i am trying to send some emails using my php email program using mail() function and it keep ending up in spam folder at yahoo and gmail. When i try with civiCRM "Send email to Contacts" facility after searching contacts it works fine. I checked the full header of emails sent via my program and mail sent by civiCRM to same email id. The only reasonable difference i could find is difference in "Return-Path:" and "X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain -  " . Note that civicrm i am using on same server from where i am trying to send emails using my own php scripts, which is a shared hosted server, which has different domain address as of my own website.

When i choose civiCRM the "Return-Path:" is set as emailid@mydomain.com and "X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain -  "  as mydomain.com, but when i try with my own script it says nobody@hostingsite.com in "Return-Path:" and in "X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain -  " as server2.hostingsite.com .

I tried using "Return-Path: <emaild@mydomain.com>" in the header of my email, but it doesnt work. I was just wonder how civiCRM is doing it.

Any idea? Please help.

Hi lobo,

Thanks for the reply. I did go through the Email.php file you are mentioning but couldnt find my answer. Maybe it is a little to complex for me to understand. And by the way do you have any link for the PEAR forums/mailing list?

Thanks
