I am sending email from a webhost and these are the headers I receive in yahoo mail. Can someone direct me as to why this would be regarded as spam by their system... I don't know enough about php and the mail() or email systems to fix?

thanks in advance, sorry it's s messy...

You probably used keywords that were caught by their spam filter. What's the contents of the message?

[level4designs]

no, it's just an order confirmation page, but I do have one image at the top, with a full http: address to the image... woudl that cause it.

You can change the headers. Also this line *might*

As it has anonymous in it maybe. but thats just my opinion.

[level4designs]

so what would the header be for this? I am currently changing headers, and can set this, but just not sure what to put in to make that change.

thanks

maybe it's just someone else sending spam from same server

[level4designs]

hmm... I checked teh IP agains teh spam list servers though and don't find anything... I'm not sure, I think it's being regarded as spam though, just not sure why at this point. basically I have a host on godaddy as well as another place, they are both not working when the emails go to a yahoo email account...

I have tried sending just basic text and html emails to both, neither worked. I tried to adjust all the header options I could, nothing worked. I guess maybe I should contact godaddy to see why thier hosted email is being bulk emailed?

any other ideas? thse are all great ones here.

better idea is to contact yahoo, because it is yahoo who classifies it as spam, so they should know why better.
