Send mail to hotmail, yahoo or gmail

Hi,

I'm having some problems with writing e-mail script. I've kept trying for past 3 months to write script that will send automated e-mails to hotmail, yahoo or gmail accounts. Offcourse, purpose of mails is exclusively regarding registration confirmation - nothing close to some kind of spam. Anyhow, every mail I send eventually ends in Junk mail or never gets to recipient.

My question: is there any way to present my e-mail as legitimate? Although, some of them end in Junk, my main concern is that some never get to recipient. Is there any solution? I've been searching the net from quite some time now any found nothing useful.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Jovan

You need to whitelist your mail server IPs from different email service providers like yahoo etc. Or you can join trusted networks (e.g. http://www.habeas.com/) by paying handsome amount.

how are you sending the emails? Show some code. Also try Swift Mailer to see if it makes your emails look more like emails sent from an actual mail client.

Then check that you are not blacklisted:

adding "v=spf1 a mx ~all" to my SPF record in my DNS record seemed to help.
