mail() goes to Junk Mail

[Andre Phandana]

Hi, I tried to send email from my server using mail() but the email goes to
@xyz.com junk mail folders.
Why is that so?
How can I fix it?

Thank you,

Have you asked the mail administrator of xyz.com?

There's the flippant answer of "don't send junk", but it might be better if
you posted an example of how you're sending your email and an example of its
contents.

There are some ways mail receivers determine an email to be "junk".
Avaoid using numbers in the email address. Make sure the receiver
can do a "reverse DNS lookup", i.e. send the mail from proper
domain. It is true that with today’s junk mail filters, very many
legit emails end up there as well.
