I'm trying to sort out an opt in mailing list system. I understand the basic principles and design required but i'm having an issue with it being picked up as spam.
If i send a html email through outlook through [email protected] it works fine and is not treated as spam. When i use the Zend_mail object to send mail it sends but is treated as spam on the test emails accounts i'm sending it too.
This is the code im using to send an email item.
//send an email
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$config = array('auth' => 'login','username' => '[email protected]','password' => 'mypassword');
$transport = new Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp('mail.domain.com', $config);
$mail->setSubject($item->title);
$mail->setFrom("[email protected]");
$mail->addTo($item->email, $item->forename);
//$mail->setBodyText($item->contentPlain);
$mail->setBodyHtml($item->contentHTML);
$mail->send($transport);
As you can see im using the smtp transport object to authenticate but it still seems to treat this as spam. Anyone with pointers or tips is very much appreciated!!
Header info from the email that is treated as spam:
It seems to contain a couple of client domain names in the header info that i host for people any ideas why that would be the case? I use a shared IP address with about 10 domains on it
