A classic example of spam classification. I would suggest try using the following code.
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $from="From:mysite@mysite.com\r\n";
  2. $to=$email;
  3. $subject="$user left you a Profile Comment";
  4. $content=" $user has given you a new comment on your profile at mysite.Com
  5. to view the comment click http://www.mysite.com";
  6.  
  7. if($content){
  8. mail($to, $subject, $content,$from);
Why is it classified as spam? Well from what I can tell having a website in the subject would bump up the ranking and possibly making the content almost identical to the title. Also make sure the email from header is not from hotmail or yahoo as that will for sure bump up the ranking if sending to hotmail from hotmail for example. Hope that helps.
Try not to bump 10 year old threads as it can be really annoying.

They must have really tightened their filters so I'm guessing the following might work:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $from="From:mysite@mysite.com\r\n";
  2. $to=$email;
  3. //do not put .com or any other tld after sitename as it is just the name.
  4. $subject="Profile comment on Sitename";
  5. $content="User replied: $user
  6. A user has given you a new comment on your profile.
  7. To view the comment go to the below url.
  8. http://www.mysite.com";
  9.  
  10. if($content){
  11. mail($to, $subject, $content,$from);
Other than that the only thing I can think of is wording it so it has a fake unsubscribe link for the email bots to read.

Clasic examples of rules in spam filters are
If your site is younger that about a year
Your message is in plain text
The email address you are sending from doesn't actualy exist (The server can't send a message back to it)
The SMTP server you are using to send is known for spamming or is on a dynamic IP or an unsecure connection
Hope that helps,

The php mail function works great for a contact page on your site that will send the email to your sites MX. However, when sending to other mail servers such as yahoo, gmail, hotmail... it's not reliable enough to trust. Why? Because the mail function doesn't have SMTP authentication. Use one of php's prebuilt libraries, such as class.phpmailer.php. I use it for a mailing list and have tested through Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, and several others. It also provides a way to send both a plain text and html version of the message.

Yes PHP Mailer or some other class or PEAR extension to supply SMTP support
