I don't even need to look at your code. This is not a code problem. It is beyond your control, to a certain point.

If you domain is new, and doesn't have an SPF record, add one now (ask your provider, google it).
2. Make sure you have a valid "FROM" record. Most likely If this field is empty you won't even see it in any folder, mailservers automatically reject it.

Ask the mail service (yahoo, hotmail, aol, the company) to put you on the white list.

It will take some time and patience. Until then, avoid putting any images or HTML in the events.

Verify that the MX and A records of your domain DNS configuration are set to the IP of the server from whom you are sending the mail.
(SPF - as Dan said)

Including the X-Mailer and Message-ID headers can also help in avoiding getting tagged as spam. I had the same problem, drove me nuts until I figured this out.

Or you can simply use PHPMailer and forget about how its done. I used it in the past and am very pleased with results. :
