I set Ubuntu 16.04 LTS server as web server (apache-php-mysql and sendmail) with valid public ip-address. Also, I use a hosting provider to redirect www.mydomain.com to my Ubuntu web server.
Web server work fine but when I use php script for sending email, recipients get emails as a spam.
My hostname is
servername.mydomain.com
My hosts is
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
ipaddress servername.mydomain.com servername
Does anyone know what should I do to force Ubuntu server to send proper email?

You mail server needs to have an FQDN(reverse dns should match your mail address) so it won't be classified as spam.

Contact your ISP to configure a correct reverse domain name
