Where you host your site matters in terms of php mailing system. yahoo check originating IP address and if black listed or in anway suspicious, you mail will end up in junck mail. I had a problem like that before which I latter discovered myself when I change my hosting company. Your origination IP is the problem.

@stephan_gerlachauthorDec 18.2006 — i am hosting with one and one. the server my stuff is on is located in germany. it would be embarassing for them if their IP was blacklisted. can I find out if it is blacklisted?

Another potential problem is "graylisting". This is a newer approach to controlling spam. Each and every message is returned with the expectation that full service mail programs are set up to "retry" after a specific length of time. The "retry" is then accepted.
