PHP mail ends up as gmail junk

Been searching all over the net and tried many different solutions, also with phpmailer and other libraries.

My goal is to send a confirmation mail from my website, it works with hotmail and other services, but with gmail it ends up as junk.

Using the mail() function, and page is hosted on one.com and sending mail do exists.

The code:

$mime_boundary = 'Multipart_Boundary_x'.md5(time()).'x';

$headers = "";

$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n";

$body    = "This is a multi-part message in mime format.\n\n";

# Add in plain text version
$body   .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
$body   .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"charset=us-ascii\"\n";
$body   .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$body   .= "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!";
$body   .= "\n\n";

# Add in HTML version
$body   .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n";
$body   .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
$body   .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
$body   .= $this->_message;
$body   .= "\n\n";

$body   .= "--{$mime_boundary}--\n"; #

$headers .= 'From: Sender <[email protected]>'."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: Sender <[email protected]>'."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Return-Path: Sender <[email protected]>'."\r\n";

$headers .= 'Message-Id: <' . md5(uniqid(microtime())) . '@example.com>'."\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender-IP: ". $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] ."\r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/'. phpversion() ."\r\n";

mail($this->_to, '=?UTF-8?B?'. base64_encode("Subject - ". $this->_subject) .'?=', $body, $headers, "-f [email protected]");

This great post from @JeffAtwood gives a huge amount of information regarding the caveats one will encounter when sending email and what should be done in order to reduce the probability of ending in the junk/spam folder.

As I remember need to be without space in last parameter.

"[email protected]"

instead of

"-f [email protected]"

Check that your IP (or your server's IP) isn't blacklisted: http://www.dnsbl.info/dnsbl-database-check.php
