Gmail marking my e-mail as spam
 

I have a server with multiple domains. Many of the domains have e-mail addresses. If I e-mail a Gmail user from any of these e-mail addresses, the e-mail gets marked as spam by Gmail, meaning the user will often miss my e-mails, especially if it is a first-time e-mail.

Does anyone know a way around this?

Did you check the domains and IPs on the email blacklists such as SORBS? Were you spamming before on the domains?

Along with this, I'd check for spam flags, such as text to link ratio, and other stuff.

Good read.

I know the feeling, as Yahoo tends to mark me as spam.

No spam and no links, basic test e-mails so far after discovering the problem.

Google did it to my IP.

Can't find the email bounce back right now. In the return mail has a link. In that link tells you why mass emails would be blocked.

Now you are going to say, but I'm not mass emailing, what to do? There is no option but to follow all the links about mass emailing. Once you finally get to the spot where you can fill out an online report, do so. Include the IP, emails etc. that are getting blocked and say you do not bulk email from those addresses. No idea why the block.

Honestly, I think gmail has just gone bat crazy and blocks anything at any time, just for the giggles.

Takes about a month and then 1 day you will magically be able to send to gmail emails again. Good luck.

Gmail has become a mother fucker in blocking emails from IP's with porn domains. I used this trick a while back, not sure if it still works but you can give it a try. Send out several emails a day to Gmail test accounts. Go into the spam folder and click the "Not Spam" tab on each email. After you pass a certain threshold of mails marked not spam from different accounts Gmail will start inboxing the emails. Note that this only worked on non spammed IP's (which you already said they weren't) that were only getting flagged due to porn domains...

:thumbsup:thumbsup thanks for this

Okay, this is very very premature, but I just did this a few times and it already started working. Going to try tests with a few other domains.

Thank you.

Bah, sporadic at best. Won't work. It's a start I suppose!

Nice advice!

It took me a week or two before all emails started getting inboxed. Just keep at it and it should eventually work, and make sure you are accessing Gmail accounts with different IP's. I had friends with Gmails that I emailed and had them click the "Not Spam" link. The theory is that it is a soft block that Gmail uses on porn domains. I noticed that I had the problem a lot more on hosting accounts with companies that specialize in adult hosting. In the same way that Gmail detects spam when multiple people mark email as spam it should also start inboxing emails that have multiple IP's marking "Not Spam"...

I think it also has to do with people hitting the spam button in gmail. Gmail blocks me about every 6 months or so and I just set sendmail to send mail from a different ip address.

not a fix exactly but i have enough IP's to do this dance for 10 years and by then i will probably have a better solution or more IP's.

A few things to check: Mxtoolbox/blacklist and senderscore (not enough linkjuice to post URLS :disgust)

Also, the content of the email might have words that have been flagged as spam by Google.
