I run a message board and my actiavation mail is going into user's junk folder on hotmail accounts. It is a common problme with bulletin boards and I was told that the reason is because the script is running under user: nobody.
Is there anyway to change that?

Put a request in to support to install PHPsuexec. That should take care of it, as scripts will no longer run as nobody.

Failure is not an option. It comes standard with all Microsoft products.

Sychev,

Most bulletin boards have an option to use SMTP to send e-mail instead of the built in PHP e-mail functions. I noticed the site in your profile is running vBulletin. I know that vBulletin has this option. As John mentioned, when using the built in PHP functions to send e-mail they are using the default server account (in your case nobody). However, with SMTP you can create you own e-mail account in cPanel for sending forum e-mail.

Here is vBulletin's manual page on configuring SMTP e-mail:

I realize this topic is over a month old, but I don't recall seeing it until John gave it a bump. I hope this helps.

Thank a lot for the information and for posting the link.
Actually adding SPF record was enough to get rid of the problem
Here is some info that I would highly recommend for any web site owner who sends out emails on regular basis:
