There's no magical "this is not spam" header. If there was, all the spammers would include it, and what would be the point? What you have to do is compare your email with one that survives the spam obstacle course, and make your email lean and mean and fit to survive. Without looking at your code/email, the FIRST thing to do is to get rid of HTML-enhanced (cough, cough) email. Just use plain-text. The odds of HTML-enhanced (cough, cough) email being spam is *SO* much higher than plain-text, that you are right away going to lose the battle with many spam filters if you use HTML-enhanced email. Next, make sure that it looks like a REAL PERSON sent the email. The From: and Reply-to: lines should be: "Emil Edeholt" <emil@xxxxxxxxxxxx> and not just: emil@xxxxxxxxxxxx There are a zillion other things you can do -- You may want to install SpamAssassin (etc) and run your email through it. It adds headers that tell you EXACTLY why you are losing "points" in the obstacle course and getting labeled as spam. Some things will be beyond your control, or willingness to change. Having "medical.se" as the return address will probably send up a red flag, just because of the disproportionate number of "medical" related spams. Fortunately, you don't need a PERFECT non-spam score -- Just one good enough to pass the course. The final number is user-configurable, so it's about coming closer to an ideal rather than achieving a perfect score. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
