I have a gaming website. Mails from my webiste email account always deliver as spam. I have found a developer who says they can resolve this. I was just wondering is this a common bug that can be fixed? Would there be any impacts? Would anything they do to fix this possibly cause my e-mail or website to get flagged or blacklisted with Google?
Are you using an autoresponder and making sure your subscribers are going through a double opt-in signup process? Even if you implement that, sometimes your first email might go to the spam folder. So it is a good idea to mention on the signup thanksyou page to check the spam folder and safelist emails from your domain.
You should check your subject titles and the words in your emails. Some words get flagged as spammy. When that happens, your email automatically goes to the spam folder. Also, if your IP is blacklisted, etc. If you're sending an autoresponder, tell your subscriber in the first email to add your email address to their email client's address book. This helps somewhat at preventing your emails going straight to their spam folder.
