Here is the code i have been used for sending form details

$to  = "xx@company.in"; // note the comma
$subject = "$_POST[company_website]";
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: About Reseller Account" . "<$_POST[email]>\r\n";
$headers .= "Cc:xx@company.in" . "\r\n";
$message ="I have used Html";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);


//this mail is for thank you
$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
    $port = "465";

$to1  = "$_POST[email]"; 
$subject1 = "Thanks For Submitting form";
$headers1  = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers1 .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers1 .= "From: Enquiry About Reseller" . "<xx@company.in>\r\n";

Nothing is wrong with your form. It's just that the receivers spam filter thinks it's spam. Maybe its because of too many links, are multiple emails going at the same time.

Actually, it's more likely that the users' e-mails are finding it to be spam because you're sending e-mail through GMail, but it's not originating from GMail. As a result, it marks it as spam because spammers often do this to attempt to mask e-mail origins, or to pretend to be someone else.

I haven't used it, but I've heard that PHPMailer sometimes will succeed with keeping it from being marked as spam, when the mail() function fails.
