email getting marked as spam, why?
Hi,
I have tried sending email, but everytime I do it gets marked as spam (at least in Gmail!!!).
I do nothing special but sending some text.
I set X-Mailer: PHP 5 and From: mysite@mydomain.com for headers.
What should I do?[/i]

Omg that's way too stupid. "Hey don't forget to check your spambox" :Ssuperdezign wrote:Well, it's up to Google's spam filter as to what's considered spam or not. They've probably documented it.
Oftentimes, automated e-mails are considered spam anyway. Just tell your users to check their Junk Mail folder.
And I don't see any reason why I am not allowed to send welcome mails they just have plain regular english text =/

Pretty much every website that I've signed up for that has a lot of visitors says to check your Junk Mail folder. Stronger filters count automated e-mail as spam, especially from servers that send a lot of them.kaisellgren wrote:"Hey don't forget to check your spambox"
I'm clueless as to how they know, but they know.

Well my website is new since I bought hosting just yesterday. I have not been ever sending mails from there.superdezign wrote:Pretty much every website that I've signed up for that has a lot of visitors says to check your Junk Mail folder.
