php mail form

Post by peterx »

Hi!
I try to make a homepage and put a html & php email form.
I found some websites which offer free codes for php email form. When I send email from my website, the mail goes direct to SPAM.
2- How to avoid this problem.

The script itself is fine if it sending the mail!

It is your spam filter that needs changing, you need to tell your spam filter to allow emails from whatever domain names or change the subject line or message content as this may contain keywords that your spam filter is blocking.
