Hello Efraim,
the mail() function has a forth parameter headers.
The very minimum you should provide is a FROM line;
$headers = "From: \"".$fullname."\" <".$fromaddress.">\n";
mail($toaddress, $subject, $message, $headers);
Two things to check.
1. That your email headers are valid. (RFC 822)
2. That your message body is valid (Properly formed) and is not spam.
Missing the from line basically says that the email is anonymous and this is
one of the first tests that agressive spam filters will look for and flag.
It is also possible that the email address is actually bad.
