php - PHPMailer - mails going straight to spam

asked Oct 17, 2021 in Technique[技术] by 深蓝 (71.8m points)

Whenever I send an automated e-mail using PHPMailer, it goes straight into the spam folder in Gmail. I have tried finding a solution to this myself but I don't know enough about e-mails and e-mail headers.

Can anyone explain why this is happening?

PHP Code is below, followed by the headers that show up from the receiver.

Thanks!

$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->From = "chrisxenongroup@server.xenonacademy.org.uk";
$mail->FromName = 'Xenon Group Academy';
$mail->AddAddress($email);
$mail->Subject = "Your Xenon Group Academy login details";
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Body = "<html><body><h3>Welcome to the Xenon Group Academy</h3><p>The Academy is an online system that will allow you to access course materials, manage your assignments and network with other Xenon Group students.</p>
<p>To access your account, go to <a href='http://www.xenonacademy.org.uk'>www.xenonacademy.org.uk</a> and use the following details to login.</p><p><pre>E-mail:            $email</pre></p><p><pre>Password:       " . mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['password']) . "</pre></p><br /><br /><p>Once you have logged in, we would recommend changing your password to something secure and easy to remember. You can also change your login e-mail address if you need to.</p><p>Welcome to the Academy, and good luck with your qualification!</p></body></html>";
$mail->Send();

This does sound more like a configuration issue with your mail server and/or your DNS server. Your mail server does not appear to be "trusted" enough, so you don't get enough "positive" points from GMail (and mail clients). I notice that you're using postfix as your mailer... Have you configured it properly?

I would suggest you configure postfix first. For example, here's a guide on how to do it in CentOS:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix

Second, you should add an SPF record to your DNS server:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework

Third, it would be good to have a reverse lookup entry for your server:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup

You will need to do the above and some more to make sure that clients don't flag your mail as spam, and you don't get blacklisted

Here's a good list of things to do to avoid getting blacklisted:
