Function mail() in PHP versus Hotmail Junk Mail Box
Hello,
I develop a function of sending of emails in PHP (on a dedibox, OS = Fedora core5) by using the function mail($email_address, $subject, $message, $header).
PROBLEM: The mails sent arrive in the junk mail box of hotmail between-others.
How to make so that the messages fall into the "reception box" from my recipients?
I sailed through many forums and I am partly persuaded that all depends on the fourth parameter of mail().
If you know the good configuration of the $header, or of the server, I thank you in advance.

For the moment, i use only "simple email sending", with few text and an url link.
The idea you gave is pretty good cpulse, but spamassassin doesn't work as the Hotmail server.
What i need to know is "how configure my fourth parameter in the PHP function in the aim to send emails that won't be filter as spams by HOTMAIL ?" (it's a pretty difficult question)

With our team we solved the problem partly. Which poses problem it's that the mails we send to a member of voila.fr aren't throwed in its reception mail box.
I would like to know the criteria of voila.fr concerning the undesirable mails...or a solution to permit us to finish our job.
Thanks for help ;-)

Thanks for your answer
I could tell you about the headers but this sounds more complicated.
Perhaps one good way is to test it against a server with spam assassin or something similar and see the reasons you get spam score. Then try to eliminate these reasons.
