[CLOSED] Email marked as spam. Why?
Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2009 7:50 pm
Hi,
I've just migrated a client's site to it's new home on a Hostgator server for launch in a few days. The domain has propagated, and all is well except my PHP email contact form. I'm using Zend_Mail, and have had no problems with it on any of the 3 or 4 servers the site has run on in testing.
Hostgator support helpfully suggest I "ask Google why they are marking the email as Spam", and that it's not their problem.
Here's the raw headers of an example email, with minimal obfuscation from me. I would very much appreciate some advice on what I need to check in terms of domain/host/email server settings to fix the problem.
Many thanks!
