I Need Help in Using mail() Function!

[engrkhalid]

Hello everybody,

When I send an email to any Hotmail account it goes directory to the
Junk Email!
My website is in a dedicated server using: Linux 2.4.21, Apa*che, PHP,
MySQL
I'm using the following function to send my emails:
==============================
<?
function SendEmail($veFmName, $veFmEmail, $veToName, $veToEmail,
$veSubj, $veBody) {
$bound="----=_NextPart_000_" . uniqid(rand());
$message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n\r\n";
// text
$message .= "--$bound\r\n";
$message .= "Content-Type: text/plain;
\r\n\tcharset=\"windows-1256\"\r\n";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";
$message .= "This is an HTML email." . "\r\n\r\n";
// html
$message .= "--$bound\r\n";
$message .= "Content-Type: text/html;
\r\n\tcharset=\"windows-1256\"\r\n";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable\r\n\r\n";
$message .= $veBody;

$message .= "\r\n\r\n--$bound--";

$varHeader = "From: $veFmName <$veFmEmail>\r\n";
$varHeader .= "Return-Path: $veFmEmail\r\n";
$varHeader .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$varHeader .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=\"$bound\"\r\n";
//$varHeader .= "X-Mailer: PHP Mailer\r\n";
$varHeader .= "X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build
11.0.6353\r\n";
$varHeader .= "X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE
V6.00.2900.2180\r\n";
$varHeader .= $message;

return mail($veToEmail, $veSubj, "", $varHeader, "-f" . $veFmEmail);
}
// this is an example to use this function:
$varTitle = "Message Title Here";
$varBody = "The HTML body goes here.";
SendEmail("Sender Name", "My****@MyDomain.com", "",
"An******@hotmail.com", $varTitle, $varBody);
?>
==============================

Your time might be better spent persuading the people involved that you
aren't actually sending them junk mail. People have installed those spam
filters for a reason, and I don't think any responsible person would
post a way to get around those filters in a public forum.

Of course, if it is the case that you actually are sending junkmails
with php, can't help you there.

1. Stop sending mail in html formats.
2. Stop pretending to be an email client that you're not.
3. Look at the headers you actually need, and send only those.
4. Start looking at the reasons why hotmail marks mail as spam.

Try PHPMailer <http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/> instead. There are
more than one reasons for your mail to be trapped under junk mail. In
most of the cases I have had good results with PHPMailer. But, there
are certain cases, it won't work: 1. You're really sending junk mails,
2. You're not sending proper from/reply-to header, 3. You're domain or
email is blacklisted.
