i am having a issue with sending emails with cronjobs.
actually i need to send email to all the recently joined users
and so the emails are something like $to='acx1#xyz.com,acx2#xyz.com,acx3#xyz.com';
here i need to send the mail to all the receipts but not to let them know that i have sent this mail to all these persons in receipt basically BCC them
but the problem is that if i put the $to into BCC then what should i put in to function of mail
if to is empty then it may be spamed
i want to send this mail to all the receipts but when they check the headers they should see their email only
and one more issue please let me know if i am using correct headers ?
because sometimes my email is spammed by gmail
$from='tests.com';
$to='contact#test.com';
$message="<body> some html data with inline css </body>"
$subject="Hii this is test";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'."\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $from <contact#test.com>" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: contact#test.com" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'BCC: acx1#xyz.com,acx2#xyz.com,acx3#xyz.com' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

My application sends emails to an Admin and to Customers upon payment is received.
I would like to add a BCC field for a backup email and do not want it to show.
I tried adding it as a BCC field but it is still showing when the email is received. The header reads as follows:
to me, bcc: the BCC e-mail, bcc: second BCC email
My code is as follows:
$to="email#hotmail.com";
$subject= "New order";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: <email#gmail.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "CC:".PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "BCC: email#hotmail.com, email2#hotmail.com".PHP_EOL;
mail($to, $subject, $msg2, $headers);
mail($email, 'Payment Confirmation', $msg2customer, $headers);
I tried removing the CC field, still the same result.
*Note: When the emails are received by a #hotmail.com account the BCC are hidden, but when received by a #Gmail.com account the BCC are shown. I'm on local host, did not try on a live server.
Thank you
I am attempting to send a confirmation email from a PHP script. I tested on gmail and it worked fine (the email was sent with appropriate subject and contents), however when I tried sending an email to a yahoo account, the subject field was correct but the contents were sent as an attachment as opposed to text inside the actual email. Here is the mailing code.
$headers = 'From: ' . 'orders#COMPANY_NAME.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: ' . 'orders#COMPANY_NAME.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "BCC: orders#COMPANY_NAME.com \r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"
mail($email, "COMPANY_NAME Order Confirmation $confirmation_number", $text, $headers);
How can I send an email to yahoo that will include $text inside the email as opposed to an attachment?
It may be because of a wrong "Content-Type" header: I do not think "text" is a valid content type.You should try, instead, with "text/plain".
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
PS: you may also want to consider using UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1.
Why does this send emails?
$from_admin = $_POST[EMAIL];
$message_admin = 'some html...';
mail($to_admin,"subject",$message_admin,"FROM:$from_admin");
This email looks like it came from my gmail account.
While this doesn't send the email.
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'To:' . $to . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Registration <register#myserver.org>' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
When I contacted my hosting support, they said that I need to do SMTP authentication. But, then why does the first mail function work? I would be ok if its not actually using that server, but people can reply the the html email and still reach the correct account. Is there any way around this?

I am using the following script to send mail
$to = 'name#test.com' . ', ';
$to .= 'name2#test.com';
$subject = 'Green apple';
$message = 'Enquiry posted by test ';
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Green Apple <info#greenappleme.com>' . "\r\n";
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
echo "mail send successfully";
}
else
echo "mail can't send";
When I use this script to some servers, the mail is going to spam. But in some servers, it is going to the Inbox as desired.
How can I prevent email going to spam?
To prevent an email going into spam, don't send with mail from PHP. Send it with SMTP from your server, you can use PHP to connect to SMTP and submit the message. You will then need to set the SPF records on your server, and reverse DNS records with whoever your IP address comes from. If you do these three things then you'll be on the whitelist and all your emails will go into the inbox everywhere, assuming you don't abuse the privilege and get put on a blacklist.
So: send using SMTP, research SPF records and reverse DNS.
You won't be able to do this unless you have a dedicated server with dedicated IP for the domain from which you are sending the email from.
Be sure to set the RETURN PATH as the optional 5th parameter to the mail() function.
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, '-finfo#greenappleme.com'))
TO send ur majority mail in inbox set below headers and dont use test like keywords in your subject line
$headers = "From: My site<noreply#example.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: info#example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Return-Path: info#example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: Drupal\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
i am using this code :
$to = "someone#example.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse#example.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
it sends email to my gmail's SPAM folder .
Suggest any solution .
i dont want to use any PEAR MAIL type way to send email or dont want to require and include any file.
This functions works without including/requiring any additional php file.
You should use proper header like this from PHP manual
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary#example.com>, Kelly <kelly#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive#example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck#example.com' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
The Gmail spam filter has lots of parts to it which determine the spamminess of mail. You could start by seeing the SPF record for your domain. Avoid using sales language, HTML and colours where possible in your email.
There's also an old but fun video from Google about how their spam filtering works.
It's all in the headers. I don't know how GMail works internally, but I've found on my projects that setting Reply-To can Content-Type headers seems to fix this.
See PHP mail() docs for an example of doing this.
(Note: I've got a PHP questionnaire/response system that sets these headers and the e-mails come through correctly to GMail, Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail).
