    Just as an advice for everyone here: Change the email address of the confirmation e-mails in phpld (or any other directory script) once a month.

    Now.. why?
    Well.. a while ago I enabled spam assassin on my server and enabled the spam box to make sure I won't loose anything... mean while.. the spam box got filled and.. well.. I'm too lazy to clean it up and I receive the messages in my inbox marked with [SPAM]
    Now.. I was doing some submissions to my sites and noticed that many confirmation e-mails come tagged as [SPAM].
    Most probably the email addresses of the dir owners are in the database of spam assassin and other spam blocker programs.

    In conclusion.. the only solution I see for this is changing the e-mail address in pgpld acp as often as possible..

    I get one-two spam mails every month and also these spams are automated responders and not an actual spam mail!
