Re: Mail always goes to spam folder
Feel free to post your experiences with your hosting company in our Web Hosting forum. That's harsh. I would definitely find another host if it was my money.
Re: Mail always goes to spam folder
To wrap this thread up, I was able to get my email scripts working with a new host. Hooray! Thanks Chris!

Good to hear 
Re: Mail always goes to spam folder
Wait.....damn hotmail. I can send mail to yahoo, gmail, my other servers, no prob. But, Hotmail junks it. I've read on A LOT of forums that hotmail is the worst. Do you have any tips on how to successfully send to a hotmail account?
It'll get 1 email through (to the inbox), then the rest of the emails go to junk folder.
I can use SMTP, NativeMail, PHP mail, anything.

Re: Mail always goes to spam folder
Again; SPF record. What is it? 
postmaster@domain.tld address should be set up.
Reverse DNS mapping should be configured.
Reverse DNS mapping should resolve to an IP address again.

The SPF record is setup correctly. I checked with them first to make sure it was right.
From what I'm seeing in hotmail, you can send email to a hotmail account just once, and then again after the first message is read (and waiting at least 120 seconds). If you send 2 emails to a hotmail account before the first one is read, microsuck junks it! Just an observation, maybe that'll help someone else someday, i see a lot of people with the same hotmail woes.
