Emails with any content is marked as spam on hotmail

Any email I send with PEAR MIME is marked as spam by hotmail

[kingoslo]

Hello,

I am trying to make an email-script that allows me to verify that the user has given an address to an inbox he/she administrates when he signs up to a news letter.

Problem is that any email i send to hotmail is marked as spam. This is regardless of what the subject of contents is.

If i send with php mail function, all is well, but when I use PEAR MIME, it all goes wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Marius

Have you compared the mail headers that are being sent out to see what is different?

I tried using a commercial mailing list service once and they had exactly the same problem. Not a single confirmation email was ever delivered to a Hotmail account.

Notice: I just noticed that I am unable to send non-spam email with the mail function too.

Thanks.

Interesting quick glance at the MSN postmaster guidelines. I see that they insist that senders comply with CanSpam. Why the **** should I have to comply a foreign law to send a mailout to Hotmail customers in my own country when Hotmail give those addresses a ccTLD?

The problem is that we shouldn't need to jump through DIFFERENT hoops for Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, Gmail etc.
