mail redirected to bulk mail folder in outlook express

I am using keys with phpformmail.
One of my forms redirects mail to my own hotmail address.
If I send mail FROM my hotmail address TO my hotmail address it appears in Inbox.
If, however, I send mail using the online form, it appears in Bulk Mail.
Can anyone tell me why?

mail redirected to bulk mail folder in outlook express

My webhosters now tell me that hotmail uses SPF verification (?) which means that, if I set the recipient on one of my forms to a hotmail address it is filtered and appears in the junk mail folder of hotmail (or the bulk mail folder of Outlook Express if you use this when accessing hotmail). In order to avoid this they suggest that I change the FROM address in my phpformmail script to a valid mail account on my webhosters server.
Can anyone tell me how I can change the script in this way?

Within the next day or two I hope to have a new point release that changes how php formmail sends mail.

Hi Andrew,
Have copied the new coding over and called the file newfmmail.php
Have copied one of my forms and renamed it, setting the action to newfmmail. I am using the recipient array with keys.
I now get the "sorry but cannot figure out who sent you here" error.
If I set check_referer to false, I get "Message could not be sent due to an error while trying to send the mail".
It is strange as the Classic v1.07.0 version I am using at present works fine with check_referer set to false. The only problem I have is that when I send the output of the form to a hotmail address the mail ends up in my Bulk Mail folder in Outlook Express and crystaltech (the web hosters) say that I should change the FROM address in the formmail script to one of the email address on the server - hence the interest in your new version.
Would be most grateful for your help, Andrew
Regards
Brian

Hi Andrew,
Wonder if you have had time to look at my previous message. Realise you are busy but am keen to sort it out ASAP. Apologies for chasing you
