email going straight to junk

unwashed potato! · 20 May 2007 at 12:17

i put a contact form on my site and many others. I knew it was going to junk folder but at the time i wasn't to bothered but now i think its time i learn how to make it not identified as junk if its possible?

The form is just a simple you name, email adress, message with php checking they all filled out and email is an email adress and then sends it to my address.

Anyway to make it not identified as junk?

sadly (in your case) there's no way to force this in PHP (spammers would have a field day if this was ever implemented!!). Best way to do it is reword the subject and body of the message. the email address sometimes has something to do with it, too. change controls in your email client - or if you're using web based, just keep marking it as "not spam" when it arrives.

Think it all depends on what anti spam software you are using. You should be able to set the from address as a safe / whitelisted address.

Don't know if this applies in PHP as well as in .NET but you have to supply a reply address, otherwise it always goes to junk.
