Number one, add additional headers to make SPAM / Bulk filters realize the message is not SPAM or should not be considered SPAM. IE: $headers = "From: Suresh Kumar <myemail@host.net>\r\n". "X-Mailer: PHP 4.3.2\r\n". "X-Sender: $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']\r\n". "X-Comment: If you can put a comment here, do it.\r\n"; mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); The above is considering you have already declared the $to, $subject, and $body variables. Also, make sure your $subject is not 'undisclosed-recipients;' or something like that - it's a big no-no and will definitely flag some SPAM filters. Put a valid e-mail address - but you can still use the BCC-headers and everything should go just fine. Alternatively, if your list is not too large, it looks better to run a for / while loop to send each recipient a message directly (ie: not using BCC) as that will cut down on the SPAM probability. Second, if you are making MIME emails, make sure you are doing so correctly. You can learn about creating multipart/alternative MIME emails more at www.php.net/mail. Finally, if none of the above works, it would be helpful for us to see the headers of the received message from one of your recipients where the message was put in the BULK folder. - -- Christopher Weldon, ZCE President & CEO Cerberus Interactive, Inc. cweldon@cerberusonline.com 979.739.5874 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFBaG2Zxvk7JEXkbERAgZiAKCJVQfno2fAca13Sx7aXPWD2WMgUwCeOMBX grbViYDnAXXy8l1i4liVHzE= =ka5I -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
