I tried followings
mail header
$headers = "From: Bhathiya Pathirana <contact@xhpx.co.uk> \r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: Bhathiya Pathirana <contact@xhpx.co.uk> \r\n"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; $headers .= 'Bcc: contact@xhpx.co.uk' . "\r\n";
blacklist check http://mxtoolbox.com (result= it's clean)
reverse dns lookup is green
Message source is

Hi,
Why hotmail's servers are classifying your messages as spam has nothing to do with scripting. That's something you'll have to have to ask hotmail's administrators.

Agree with Bill that this is not a scripting question, but -
That's usually a symptom of having neglected to set up the proper SPF records in DNS for your domain.
[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

I would note that SPF is only one of many tools used to combat spam. There are a multitude of other ways that public mail providers use to try to determine "spam-ness" (bogus links, types of embedded images, Bayesian statistical filtering, DNS blacklisting, etc.). I doubt hotmail is blocking the messages for no good reason, but that's something you'd need to ask them. No doubt other mail providers would likely block the messages as well, for many of the same reasons.
In any case, as already noted, this is not a topic for a scripting forum. If you want to automatically send messages using some kind of script and public mail providers are blocking them, you would need to ask those providers why the messages are being blocked.
Of course, asking the question may be a bit absurd as it amounts to "Dear hotmail: Please tell me how to circumvent your anti-spam measures so I can spam your subscribers." (Good luck with that.)
