Hello frose,

the e-mail you send is in junk-mail because your e-mail server (the computer that receives the mail from your non codeigniter app) doesn't trust it to be serious. It looks at it and thinks its spam.

Don't ask me why, spam filters are pretty different in their judgements.

[eluser]frrose[/eluser]
so what can I do to solve this problem ...?

[eluser]sophistry[/eluser]
@frrose... just curious... why are you asking (on the codeigniter site) about a project you did not build in codeigniter?

seems like you might get more information at another, email-centric site like http://campaignmonitor.com

cheers.

hi,
i use CI mail library to sending mail but it goes to spam for yahoo recipient. here is the code i use to send mail.

Code:

$this->load->library('email');

$config['protocol'] = 'sendmail';
$config['mailpath'] = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-1';
$config['wordwrap'] = TRUE;

$this->email->initialize($config);

$this->email->from('[email protected]', 'My Company');
$this->email->to('[email protected]');
$this->email->subject('Email Test using CI');
$this->email->message('Testing the email class.');

$this->email->send();

echo $this->email->print_debugger();

please note that, i have created [email protected] from my cpanel. moreover, i register my domain at godaddy.com and my hosting company is internethostserver.com. in addition, gmail and hotmail users get message at inbox but yahoo user in spam folder.
any help or idea is highly appreciated.

it could e that yahoo considers your hosts IP address to be a SPAM source
Have you tried this with multiple Yahoo addresses, or just the one?

[eluser]Sumon[/eluser]
Dam1an,
thanks for your reply. and yes i have used multiple yahoo address but result is same.
BTW: how can i be sure that "yahoo consider my host IP address as spam".

from my cpanel i get:
Shared Ip Address 67.212.190.3

i think, it's my host IP address. right?

[eluser]Dam1an[/eluser]
Sumon, there are some online tools which will give you're host a score, and therefore the likely hood of them being identified as a spammer

The easiest way out is to tell users that it may be marked as spam and get them to add you to their whitelist

You could also try contacting your server if its a very serious problem (affecting loads of users)

I dont know about Yahoo but if you can view the header information of the email, theres a possibility that you can check the score that it gets.

For example this is from a spam mail:

Code:

X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=5.277 tagged_above=2 required=5    tests=[BAYES_40=-0.185, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001,    RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET=1.96, RCVD_IN_XBL=3.033, RDNS_NONE=0.1,    URI_HEX=0.368]

Using that information you can see why it's marked as spam(the final score is sum of all). This particular sender was found in one of the blacklists.

IP addresses that have been reported as delivering spam to Yahoo will be blocked as spam by Yahoo.

I got around that issue on a shared server by purchasing a dedicated IP. Shared servers with GoDaddy are famous for that issue, as are shared servers with many hosting companies. It's the price you pay for economically priced hosting.
