Mail getting dumped into spam folders

Hi,
you can pass 'from' parameter in the runner_mail function in the remind.php file.

More info here:

This is driving me crazy. Below is simple php code to send an email to yahoo. It works and the mail ends up in the inbox.
<?php

$to = "name@yahoo.com";

$subject = "testmail";

$message="Password reminder";

$from = "name@domain.com";

$headers = "From: $from";

date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");

mail($to,$subject,$message);

echo "Mail Sent.";

?>
This is the code from the remind.php form. The email here ends up in the yahoo spam folder.
$password=$data[1];

$url = GetSiteUrl();

$url.=$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];

$message="Password reminder"."\r\n";

$message.="You asked to remind your username and password at"." ".$url."\r\n";

$message.="Username".": ".$data[0]."\r\n";

$message.="Password".": ".$password."\r\n";

$subject = "Password Reminder";

date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York");

mail ($data[2],$subject,$message);

//runner_mail(array('to' => $data[2], 'subject' => "Password reminder", 'body' => $message));

.....
Why is this happening? They are both going out the same way.
Thank you.

Hi Joe

You havde to identify your sender mail in the headers because Yahoo and gmail and hotmail, they alle check the senders mail and if it is not identified than it

will be put in the junk mail:
do like this:
$headers = "From: blabla.com <blabla@gmail.com>";
the blabla@gmail.com should be a valide email adress.

Hi Maali

Thanks for the suggestion, but it still goes to the junk mail folder. This is what I have:
$password=$data[1];

$url = GetSiteUrl();

$url.=$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];

$message="Password reminder"."\r\n";

$message.="You asked to remind your username and password at"." ".$url."\r\n";

$message.="Username".": ".$data[0]."\r\n";

$message.="Password".": ".$password."\r\n";

$subject="Password Reminder";

$headers="From: name@mydomain.com <name@mydomain.com>\r\n";

$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP's mail() Function\r\n";

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-transfer-encoding: base64\r\n";

mail ($data[2],$subject,$message,$headers);

// runner_mail(array('to' => $data[2], 'subject' => "Password reminder", 'body' => $message));

$reminded=true;

if(function_exists("AfterRemindPassword"))

AfterRemindPassword($strUsername,$strEmail);

$loginlink_attrs="href=\"login.php";

if($strSearchBy!="email")

$loginlink_attrs.="?username=".rawurlencode($strUsername);

$loginlink_attrs.="\"";

$xt->assign("loginlink_attrs",$loginlink_attrs);

$xt->assign("body",true);

$_SESSION["count_captcha"]=$_SESSION["count_captcha"]+1;

$xt->display("remind_success.htm");

return;

}
This only happens in the remind.php file. Exact same code in a stand alone php file works. Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

FINALLY found the problem. Took the $url out of the message line and it went through.
