BY the way is juju server in safe mode? I know on United-TI web hosting I had troubles with mail() due to that (I had a forum installed there and people would never get their activation e-mails and there were other broken stuff as well that are not related to e-mailing, such as automated login)

No. mail() relies on a sendmail binary, which wasn't working.

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

It is now fixed. I think I messed it up when I tried setting up email accounts...
Yay!

I noticed mail() doesn't work on your server months ago but I guess I never reported the bug.

I ended up implementing SMTP to send emails through my Gmail address, which made it less spam-block-prone anyway.

so php mail() is being recognized wildley as spam? that's why my emails always end in the spam folders. How can i overgo that easily? Just buy setting up a SMTP or what?

Well, I am only sending emails to myself with the script, and none of the stuff gets in my spam box, so i'm happy. :)

No, it's just that Gmail (or whatever email service you use) probably doesn't recognize the server you're sending from. You can use any From address in mail(), so Gmail needs a way to verify you're actually responsible for that mail domain.

Don't Gmail flag stuff as spam only when it contains suspicious content (such as the mispelled words caialias, parno, inlarge) or when multiple identical e-mails are sent from an e-mail address?
