Sent mail from php goes into spam folder

Question

I used this tutorial for sending mail :

http://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/avoid-spam-filters-with-php-mail-emails/

My code looks like this :

$headers .= "Reply-To: The Sender <sender@sender.com>\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Return-Path: The Sender <sender@sender.com>\r\n"; 
$headers .= "From: The Sender <senter@sender.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Organization: Sender Organization\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP". phpversion() ."\r\n" 
mail("recipient@recipient.com", "Message", "A simple message.", $headers);

I am using localhost(MAMP PRO) for sending mail.

Which folder an email goes into depends mostly on the domain & ipaddress from which the email is coming from and the email service provider. If your domain/ip is trusted by the service provider it will not be spammed. Also, after setting a few emails as "Not Spam" from that domain, your email service will no longer spam the emails

That's why. localhost emails are always spammed from my experience. It should work properly when you upload the code on the web hosting server :) – Joshua Kissoon Jul 25 '13 at 10:36
That's the way it always works for me, and I have done lots of custom emailing scripts – Joshua Kissoon Jul 25 '13 at 10:40

there are more than one reason ur email goes to spam ... 1 - make sure that the "from email" is actually the email u are sending the emails from .. i mean dont use any other false "from Email"

2- you have to keep the message body simple as possible . dont use so much html tags and css experssions , and also try to use tables
