PHPMailer – Spam/Junk

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 25.2020

I’m using PHPMailer to send emails. Almost all users are having the email filtered into junk mail.

Why is this and what can be done to prevent it.

I’m sending it from [email protected] where mydomain.com is the domain it’s being sent from.

@NachfolgerAug 25.2020 — Did you configure DKIM/SPF/Etc?

I bet not. Start there.

No never heard of that. Can you explain how to do it and what it's for?

@kiwisauthorAug 26.2020 — When I view the original message in Gmail I see this

DKIM: 'PASS' with domain mydomain.com Learn more

And in outlook

Authentication-Results: spf=pass (sender IP is 123.123.123.123)

smtp.mailfrom=mydomain.com; outlook.com; dkim=pass (signature was verified)

So maybe it's working already?

There are things beyond DKIM/SPF, but start with those two.

It's set up according to my host. I can see it in cPanel

v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:192.1.1.1 ~all

@kiwisauthorAug 27.2020 — One thing I should say is my domain name and hosting company are different.

@kiwisauthorAug 27.2020 — Perhaps just an outlook/hotmail thing. Any help appreciated.

@hemangjoshi37aAug 31.2020 — I think you might have generalised the definition of spam or junk very wide. So you may need to reconsider redefining your span junk mail definitions.
