This has nothing to do with PHP in special, but more with email sent
from web-servers's in general.
Spam is a complex them. You mails may get marked as spam due to

- an odd content to whitespace/newline relation
- appearance of special word
- HTML (certain spam filters don't like HTML at all)
- and millions more reasons

Please review the archives, since a recent thread explained details.

Probably better to ask whoever provides your e-mail filtering software.

And, PHP has nothing to do with it. Unless the web site has a
vulnerable PHP email script and spammers are pumping their sewage
through it. Even then, PHP has nothing to do with it. Poor PHP coding
practice(s) are the cause.

Does the message that's in your junk mail box look like it's from one
of these?

From: <ap****@yourhost.com>
From: <no****@yourhost.com>
From: <ww*@yourhost.com>

When PHP sends an email using mail() function, your having the web
server user (Usually called "WWW" or "HTTP" or "NOBODY") send email on
your behalf. Lots of spammers do not setup their engines correctly,
and these are the common user names that are used when they start
sending out 1,000+ emails.

Read this carfully: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
Pay close attention to Example 2
