Sending mail to 1 or 9000 recepients won't make any difference (given that
you don't write all addresses in the "To" field). Your mail won't be
classified as spam if it doesn't look like spam. Some clues I can think of:

* Use a real name and address as sender
* Use a descriptive subject line
* Avoid HTML is possible
* Write your own message body, rather than leaving the typical PHP forum
one-liner.

In any case, there'll always be a certain amount of rejected messages since
some mail servers (such as Hotmail, unless they finally solved it) simple
delete all mail from certain domains.

Alvaro G Vicario is right.
you can use below method..

//Create array
$contactname = array("firstnam e","secondname" ,....);
$contactemail = array("firstema il","secondemai l",....);
//or create array from database if you have below is example
$contact_res = mysql_query("se lect name, email from user");
$j=0;
$count = mysql_num_rows( $contact_res);
while($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay()){
$contactname[$j] = $row['name'];
$contactemail[$j] = $row['email'];

$j++;
}
//End creating array

//Start emailing to customers
for($i=0;$i<$co unt;$i++){
$message = " Your Message here";
$myname = 'Kerul Patel';
$myemail = 'k******@gmail. com';
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$myname." <".$myemail.">\ r\n";
$headers .= "To: ".$contactn ame[$i]." <".$contactemai l[$i].">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$myname." <$myemail>\r\n" ;
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; // this helps to avoid to get into
bulk or spam mail
$headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: Marriage.com Email Server";

@mail($contacte mail[$i],$subject,$mess age,$headers);
}
//End

sorry

while($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay()
replace with
while($row = mysql_fetch_arr ay($contact_res )

Thanks guys but the problem is most of my target users are using
hotmail and yahoo .. and i want to send to them a really important
message about my site

you must check the priority option of email setting of these web
services like yahoo and msn

No? google for DCC. Mail volume can easily be used as a criteria for spam,
even when the recipients are at multiple sites.

All good advice.

There is no problem to solve. Certain domains have decided that sending
spam is more important to them than sending regular mail, and other
domains have chosen not to accept mail from them. If you wish to send
regular mail then you need to send it from a domain that cares about the
business of sending regular mail.

Do you mean "Distribute d Checksum Clearinghouse"? It looks like a spam
filtering algorithm. I'll read about it.

domains have chosen not to accept mail from them.

IMHO, these sort of "antispam" rules are bad for several reasons:

* They lose a percentage of legitimate mail that varies from 10% to 100%.
In computer science, data loss is a bug, not a feature.

* The don't let users decide. Most often, they don't let user even know
some of their mail is being destroyed (of course they don't: users would
run away from such a messy mail provider).

* They're often badly implemented. I've seen sites that reject all mail
with an "X-Mailer: The Bat!" header.

Of course, that's my opinion. I don't want my ISP to decide what I can read
or not ;-)

Hi,
plz check below line

$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\r\n"; // this helps to avoid to get into
bulk or spam mail

it helps you when sending to hotmail or yahoo user

I've never had trouble sending a "reasonable " amount of messages to
hotmail or yahoo. Of course, the people I send to, signed up with me to
receive the messages so they never click on that this is spam button.
Which is perhaps the first step in identifying an offending domain.
