All Wordpress PHP Mail stuff being sent to spam
php;email;spam;email address
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) lets an organization take responsibility for a message that is in transit.  The organization is a handler of the message, either as its originator or as an intermediary. Their reputation is the basis for evaluating whether to trust the message for further handling, such as delivery. Technically DKIM provides a method for validating a domain name identity that is associated with a message through cryptographic authentication. (Source: http://www.dkim.org/)Contact Form 7 plugin is sending emails to spam because internally it is also using the same SMTP mechanism to send the email originating from your host machine. Sending email from your own host is not a good idea for the problems you are facing. You can solve this by using an SMTP server which supports DKIM. You can use one of these two options: (I am sure there are other ways as well)Use Gmail as your SMTP server. (Help: http://lifehacker.com/111166/how-to-use-gmail-as-your-smtp-server) You can sign up for google apps and use your domain name with gmail as well. Use amazon SES to send your emails. They recently started SMTP authentication as well. You may be charged nominally for this.
