Auto-junk folder? What?!

Okay, so I just got my game's dedicated server going. And of course, after massive amounts of problems, I've got one small, small issue.

The mail - it sends great. Goes right out...

Right into the junk folder! First off, MY personal email from my stupid domain wouldn't even receive the mail, but that's besides the point here.

Right here is my sample text that I give when people get the email. I'm only showing you because I have a feeling that emails just *assume* I'm a spammer cuz I guess I sound like one. I'm also giving the $subject stuff just incase I'm accidently sending it wrong. (who knows)

Code: Select all

$subject = "MonBre Registration Confirmation";
$message = "Alright, $username, you're almost done!\n\nNow all you've gotta do is go to http://monbre.burnttoastonline.com/veri ... fy=$conkey and you're in!
\n\n Congratulations and welcome to Monbre. \n\n
(if you feel you were given this email by accident, just ignore it and the request \n\n
will be deleted within 24 hours)";
$message = wordwrap($message, 90);
$from = "noreply@monbre.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($email,$subject,$message,$headers);

I dont think you can do games with php at least graphical ones. Well maybe with a lot of ajax experience. Even then will be pushing the limit.

There's already plenty of PHP based games out on the web, and this if off-topic.
I've never dealt with registration emails so I'm afraid I can't give you any hints on the mail appearance to prevent them turning into junk =/
