Automated Emails put in junk (google, msn) normal emails fine

[thekevin07]

For some reason all of the email i send using PHP gets marked as spam. I am using google apps for my email host. I have a spf record setup per google's recomendation (link 1) I am using a php script to send email other then mail(); (link 2) and still my emails are marked as spam. If i send an email using googles webbased interface of google apps the email sends fine and arrives in the inbox. The domain is clickonlinehomes.com Does anyone know what ive done wrong or forgot to do?

Without code, we can't help you. Chances are you've got the headers incorrect or the from part is incorrect or your mx record is incorrect.

Is the From address something@clickonlinehomes.com? What other email headers are you setting? Posting your code would help as it will probably answer these questions and show what else you are or are not doing.

Your DNS records do not have any problems that would contribute to getting email voted as spam/junk - http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=clickonlinehomes.com

This leaves something like the sending mail server appears in spam databases, something is wrong with the structure of your email (such as the domain in the from address not being the same as your domain), or the subject/message body contains enough spam like content to get the email voted as spam.

The source code is
require_once('phpgmailer/class.phpgmailer.php');

$mail = new PHPGMailer();
$mail->Username = 'user@clickonlinehomes.com';
$mail->Password = 'pass';
$mail->From = 'user@clickonlinehomes.com';
$mail->FromName = 'User Name';
$mail->Subject = 'Account information';
$mail->AddAddress('thekevin07@hotmail.com');


$mail->Body = "
Hello $user,

Your account details are below";
//$mail->AddStringAttachment('homepictest.jpg', "homepictest.jpg");
if($mail->Send())
{
echo ("ok");
}

Now we need to see the code for your class, class.phpgmailer.php
