I'm new to PHP and HTML working on a website both codes seem to be working.
I'm trying to edit an existing contact us form and send the form to a default email but it is getting to the spam folder.
Here is my HTML code part:
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span8" id="divMain">
<h1>Contact Us</h1>
<h3 style="color:#;"></h3>
<hr>
<!--Start Contact form -->
<form name="enq" action="contact-form-handler.php" method="POST" onsubmit="return validation();">
<fieldset>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" class="input-block-level" placeholder="Name" maxlength="80" />
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" class="input-block-level" placeholder="Email" maxlength="80" />
<textarea rows="11" name="message" id="message" class="input-block-level" placeholder="Message" maxlength="1024"></textarea>
<div class="actions">
<input type="submit" value=" Send " name="submit" id="submitButton" class="btn btn-inverse pull-left" title="Click here to submit your message!" />
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
<!--End Contact form -->
</div>
and here is my PHP code:
<?php
$name=$_POSt['name'];
$vistor_email=$_POST['email'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
$email_from='ex2#gmail.com';
$email_subject="New request to A-Akawi";
//$email_body="User Name:$name.\n"."User Email:$vistor_email.\n"."User message:$message.\n";
$body = <<<EMAIL
You have received a new request from $name with the following email address $vistor_email.
The following request is:
$message.
EMAIL;
$to ='ex1#gmail.com';
$headers .= "From: Johnson Smith <noreply#ksar.com> . \r\n" ;
$headers .='Reply-To: '. $to . "\r\n" ;
$headers .= "Organization: Sender Organization\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP". phpversion() ."\r\n";
mail($to,$email_subject,$body,$headers);
header("location: contact.html");
?>
I'm getting it to the spam even after adding the headers how to fix it?

Answer 1

As far as I know you also need to add the Return-Path: to the header of your e-mail.
But there could be many more reasons why your email is going to the spam.
The spf records in your DNS could be configurate wrong or the IP of your server is listed in spam filters
