No I don't have such problems.

Maybe your mail server is black listed or has open relay?

Do you get any other emails from your mail server? Try to send a mail to your gmail account using the same mail server that your php apps use.

I tried that first I thought it's maybe because of the mail() function, but than I used the phpmailer via smtp and still the same problem. The the best thing is that I forward the mail to my finalwebsites email account which is hosted by Google Sad

I have no problem with other mails (like from this forum for example)

The IP address from the mail server is clean according spamcop

No I got your mail......

It looks like a bug in gmail's system. Maybe you should email them.

Are you using sourceforge send mail library or some othe SMTP library?

If you using mail() php function Spam Assassin gives a score for it.

I tried them all, it's because some gmail user gaves a spam vote to email from that server (its a reseller server)

You can use phpmailer and use an SMTP account from your other server to avoid this Smiley

Good idea! Yeah Gmail and Aol once they vote the email server domain as Spam it is hard to get off it. Not like SBL.
