Mail sent this way will always end up in spam. You need a commercial mail product to send mail to residential emails.

In the future, please put your question in the body of the post, not the description. Thanks! :)

Correct me if I'm wrong... but you have Javascript validating the input to your form, but PHP is actually sending the email. Right?

Email send like this will not *always* end up in spam, but it is generally more likely. The problem is that emails sent from forms on a website get abused by spam bots, so if you're not sending mail through a secure client your emails aren't trusted.

In many cases, you need to abide by the rule where the "from address" uses the same domain as your website. There's also many other issues involving the content of your email, the IP address from which mail is being sent, etc. You'd be better off asking questions about the whole process in an email marking-specific forum.
