Answer 1

Emails sent by mail() function is blocked due is used by scammers try to use sendmail from PEAR or a smtp class
phpmailer https://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/phpmailer/
PEAR sendmail https://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.send.php
Look at PHP: mail() vs SendMail

Answer 2

Many mail services, such as Gmail, vigorously check for spam, and much of the spam you would otherwise receive simply bounces, rather than even making it to your spam folder!
To prevent this, it helps if the mail server you are sending from has valid MX and SPF records, although this is fairly technical for most people. However, because Gmail is fairly well known, many services do not bounce email origination from smtp.mail.google.com (Gmail). Therefore, you might benefit from setting up an account for your script to use on Gmail, and then using a third-party library to connect to the account and send/receive emails.
If you haven't looked into it, SwiftMailer allows you to send mail on behalf of a Gmail account using PHP.
