Default Emails sent with PHP caught by spam filters

Emails sent by my website on VPS using PHP mail almost always end up in spam/junk folders. Especially with Hotmail users and also often with Gmail users.

What can I do to prevent this? The users of my site complain that they don't get emails, but when I ask them to check their junk mail folder it's always there. This is very annoying.

Does anyone have any tips to improve this? Thank you.

Do you have an SPF record and is it correct from where you are sending the mail?

Thank you junkstuff. Yes, I actually resolved this yesterday after finding out you can easily enable DomainKeys and SPF records under Email Authentication in cPanel. It is working better now.
