sending of mail through SMTP

Post by hazzzzzy »

Hi,

I am trying to send emails through SMTP and has tried using phpmailer to do so. Although the mail was sent to this particular company, it was thrown into their junk box.

I was told by someone to use PEAR's way of sending smtp mail to avoid having my mails thrown into their junk box. Is this true? Will PEAR really solve the problem?

Try it. Email can easily behave differently for very specific reasons.

Moved to PHP - Code.

I have had a similar problem using phpMailer...

I used a third party SMTP service: http://www.authsmtp.com/ solved all my problems... :)

Shared hosts I have found, really are no good at sending email, especially when sending email with attachments...

In any case...try that service...it's pretty cost effective and see if it works...contact them and ask if you can try it out first even...their pretty flexible :)
