Codeigniter Mail function sends mail to spam folder [duplicate]

Question

I am using codeigniter mail function. Its sends mail perfectly. But all the time mail going to the spam folder. How can I overcome this.

Function

function msg_now(){ $this->load->library('email'); $this->load->library('parser'); $config['protocol'] = 'sendmail'; $config['wordwrap'] = TRUE; $config['mailtype'] = 'html'; $this->email->initialize($config); $email_id='[email protected]'; $name=$this->'test'; $this->email->from('[email protected]'); $this->email->to($email_id); $this->email->subject('Test subject'); $this->email->message("<p>Lorem ipsum dummy content</p>"); $this->email->send(); }

Try to avoid subject name with test try with other subject name. — Yash

 $this->load->library('parser'); $config = Array( 'protocol' => 'smtp', 'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com', 'smtp_port' => 465, 'smtp_user' => 'google email id', 'smtp_pass' => 'password', 'mailtype' => 'html', 'charset' => 'iso-8859-1' ); $this->load->library('email', $config); $this->email->set_newline("\r\n"); $this->email->from('google email id','Title'); // change it to yours $this->email->to(your send email id);// change it to yours $this->email->subject('you subject'); $this->email->message('your message'); if($this->email->send()) { return true; } else { show_error($this->email->print_debugger()); }

$this->load->library('parser'); is the key to avoid spam. Please note it...
I am not entirely sure why, but after adding a parser, it worked. Then, even if I got rid of the parser, the emails weren't going to spam. I don't understand this, but I am not going to question it.

There are many reasons for mail to go in spam, but easy solution for it is to set the headers of the mail before sending and giving it priority.

Here's how to do that in CodeIgniter. The function is set_header():

$this->email->set_header($header, $value);

also check this link for reference.

It has always worked for me.
