PHPMailer mails goes straight to Spam

Question

The situation:

Writing a function in php with PHPMailer for sending account activation mails for a website.

The problem:

All my mails goes straight into the spam folder instead of inbox. Only gmail-adresses recieve my mails correctly.

My code:

<?php 
 /********************************************************************************************************************************
File:   sendmail.php
Author: Burtscher Florian
Date:   02.02.2017
Description:
    This file contains the sendmail functions for mailing noreply messages to EmailClients.
***************************************************************************************************************************/

require 'PHPMailer-master/PHPMailerAutoload.php';


$result = sendmail('asdf','asdf','asdf','asdf');

if(!$result){
   echo $result;
}


function sendmail($to,$subject,$message,$name){
  $mail = new PHPMailer;

  //$mail->SMTPDebug = 3;

  $mail->isSMTP();    // Set mailer to use SMTP
  $mail->Host = 'smtp.world4you.com';                //'smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com';      // Specifay main and backup SMTP server 
  $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                                                                    // Enable SMTP authentication
  $mail->Username = 'activation@scritex.com';
  $mail->Password = '*************';
  $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
  $mail->Port = 587;                                                                   // TCP port to connect

  $mail->setFrom('activation@scritex.com', 'Activation');
  $mail->addAddress('mytestmail1111@dkimvalidator.com', 'Florian Burtscher');         // Add a recipient
  $mail->addReplyTo('activation@scritex.com', 'Office');                              // Add Reply To

  $mail->isHTML(true);

  $mail->Subject = 'Here is a Subject';
  $mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
  $mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

  $mail->DKIM_domain = 'scritex.com';
  $mail->DKIM_private = '.htkeyprivate';
  $mail->DKIM_selector = 'dkim11';
  $mail->DKIM_passphrase = '1486107933';

  if(!$mail->send()){
    return $mail->ErrorInfo;
  }else{
    return true;
  }
}
?>

Result:

I don´t have any idea what to do. Anyone who knows this problem?

All my mails goes at hotmail, outlook, yahoo, gmx, aon, msn to spam!

The sender service domain is blacklisted. Try using another smtp service. If that does not help, the domain that you are using (scritex.com) may be blacklisted. From there there are 2 possible solutions: 1. whitelist your domain (there are several services that do this but it is a lengthy and annoying process). 2. Use another domain
