I run a wordpress site using the Gravity Forms plugin. When users complete the form action, they should be emailed and I should be emailed confirming the same. Both these emails end up in spam from the tests I have been running. I run a second wordpress site using exactly the same set up (which seems to be working fine). I need to make sure notification emails are sent and received without going into spam, and would be grateful of some help in sorting this out. I can pay $15 PP for successful resolution. Let me know if you can help, and we can chat on skype. Thanks
There's not much you can do about it. Most of those mail providers have lists of common IP addresses, hostnames, and other data that often get flagged as spam and if your emails match the criteria they automatically get filtered. All you can really do is tell your visitors to add your email address to their allow list before registering so the email will go through to their inbox. Honestly, don't worry about it. If they see your emails are regularly being marked as 'not spam' then they'll eventually add an exception for it. Just tell users to check their spam folder if they don't see the email like every other site does. Usually if they mark it as 'not spam' in that folder it will automatically add an exception for that address so any other emails you send them will end up in their inbox. I can help you with that anywya, if you still got the problem PM me with more details and we'll solve the problem for you.
No one can fix this for you. You have to build reputation when it comes to emails. It's all in the hands of companies like Microsoft and Google and their mail filter settings. You can solve this yourself by getting members subscribed and asking them to "whitelist" your email/domain in their mail settings. When enough people white list your email/domain it'll move up to being legitimate mail. It's like Google PR...you used to be handed Google PR...you could build a site and do nothing and still get PR1 or PR2....but these days you have to work for it. So don't pay someone to do something you can do yourself man.
Well I think you use Mandrill mail to send out Emails. In fact it is free for the first 12000 emails per month. And I have seen it never goes to spam.
