If you don't end up using PHPMailer, make sure that you are setting
these fields properly or SpamAssassin et al will suspect your emails as
being SPAM.
From: a valid (looking) email address
Date: the send date in RFC-2822 format, date('r')
Message-ID: <some unique ID>
Content-Type: whatever is appropriate for your email (e.g. text/plain)
Good idea:
X-Mailer: 'PHP/' . phpversion()
To test, send some emails to yourself at an account that has
SpamAssassin and look at the headers to see what SpamAssassin says as it
should indicate what it doesn't like about your emails. Try this first,
before messing with the headers above.
