Hello Jack

Why use Bcc, why not just send unique mails to each user?

<?php
$addresses = file("emails.txt");

$subject = "My Subject";
$message = "My Message";

foreach($addresses as $address)
{
    mail($address, $subject, $message);
    echo "Sent message to ".$address."<br>";
}
?>

Wow

Works fine but on some email service providers(eg. hotmail) it’s going to Junk mail folder

Any way to send emails to Inbox??


Thanks in advance

Jack

The php mail function is stndard and is not what is making it go to junk mail. junk mail is usually the result of the message content, for example the presence of an opt-out mechanism is detected. Or a configuration on the server is not correct or some piece of header info is missing, or some services are still looking for reverse dns and will flag the message if not detected.
