I was working for my college website, and I wrote a php script that sends email using php mail function. But the problem is, all the emails that I send are going into the recipients spam/junk Folder.
In order to resolve it, I tried all the steps and answers for the similar issues in stackoverflow and serverfault website, but yet the problem is unresolved.
This is the php code for sending email:
<?php
$from_address="webmaster@".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$from_name="webmaster";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"
."Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\r\n"
."Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n"
."From: =?UTF-8?B?". base64_encode($from_name) ."?= <$from_address>\r\n"
."X-Mailer: PHP/". phpversion();
$subject="Web Mail Testing";
$body="This is test Message";
$to="[email protected]";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, "-fwebmaster@{$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}");
echo "The Mail is SuccessFully Sent to :".$to;
?>
I am also attaching the original email (that i received in my gmail account "[email protected]")

This is test Message
Also while googling I found a reason for this sort of problem is server blacklisting, and I used this tool to test it.
I was shocked when the above tool test found my server in some blacklists. How this is the case, since the original mail that i attached above says ":Received-SPF: pass (google.com: best guess record for domain of [email protected] designates 218.248.13.200 as permitted sender)
Also, if my server is blacklisted, then how can i find the reason for blacklist and how to resolve it?
