Hi,

I have a script that sends emails to users, but the emails either get sent to the junk folder or aren't recognised.

If I include the information for referer, sever etc will it make the email more secure and ensure it is delivered?

I know what the server is, but how do I find out the referer, clientip and serverip?

Why are they needed?

PHP Code:

strReferer = request.servervariables("HTTP_REFERER")
strServer = Replace(request.servervariables(""),"www.","")
strClientIP = request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
strServerIP = request.servervariables("LOCAL_ADDR") 


Thanks,

No. ...

What about including smtp information? I don't know why the emails aren't getting through / or get sent to junk folder.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

There is very little you can do in the email headers to ensure that your mail does not get filtered.
Things such as sending directly to the recipient rather than something like "mailinglist @wherever.com" can help.
Ensuring that the From: name is on the same host the mail is being sent out from
Having a Reply-To: header


One other thing would to see if you can set up SPF (Sender Policy Framework).

Does the IP of the webserver have a MX record associated with it?

Thanks for the suggestions, I managed to get it working by including the smtp host name

Use cdonts component on your windows server so that you can send email easily.

Let me know if you want some samples of it

Might have been 5 or 6 years ago.

CDONTS has been disabled on Windows server for 5 years now

Another possibiliy: I ave several apps sending emails to my registered users. To avoid troubles, I'm using an open source library: here is the referenceotNetOpenMail.
The advantages of this lib are multiple. For instance you send mulyipart emails (HTML version and Text version). It is secure and works with all version of ASP.NET. Just take a look: DotNetOpenMail.
