Gmail spam-blocking forum mail?

[theymos]

Since the server switch, I've gotten several reports from Gmail users that the forum's email is being identified as spam. Does this happen to all Gmail users? Is there any diagnostic info you can get to see why the forum's email is detected as spam? I would have expected email to look less spammy after the server switch because the reverse DNS is now correct.

Also, who receives emails with this repeated twice at the bottom?

Not here, never sent to spam folder.

It all got marked as spam for me, which is why I've missed so many PMs. Yesterday I setup a filter so that this can't happen anymore for me, but it's a pain that other people are less responsive now.

The real question is how did you test report get flagged by my filters a being a spam report (and thus sent directly to my inbox and causing a notification on my phone)?.. 

[John (John K.)]

Yes, GMail was blocking the reports here when I forwarded my mail there.

I'm on PIA's vpn and sometimes get the Google spam captcha. It seems to depend being on two or three different IP blocks. bitcointalk.org is hosted by PIA so Google is probably  marking mail connecting from some of PIA's IP blocks as spam.

Hmm, PIA probably had something to do with this. Bitcointalk emails still come to my inbox (not spam filtered). If this problem affects a lot of users it might be worthwhile to pay for Amazon SES or a similar service.

Now that you mention it, I haven't been getting anything in my inbox either.

Will the forum's non-spam reputation increase over time, you think?

That's possible. We're hosted by nforce.nl. PIA has many servers there, though nforce.nl also has other customers.

If a lot of people mark it as not spam, sure.

I had over 70 messages from this forum on my SPAM forum.
Just marked them as not-SPAM.

[Raize]

I did as well, theymos, started happening a couple weeks ago. I marked them clearly as NOT spam and have not had any problems since. I'll put this thread on notify/subscribe to see if it is now working, but I think the issue has been resolved. I didn't actually notice it right away because I have the messages from that gmail account forwarded to my main gmail account.

[Raoul Duke]

20% of them get sent to spam on my gmail, but that's mostly because of the thread titles and because I have subscriptions enabled for new topics on the Newbies and Portuguese forums, so I receive at least 100 messages/day.

1- Does the server use exim2 to send emails? Check in /etc if you have an exim.conf to be sure
2- Are spf and dkim correctly configured on the DNS zone files?

If the answer to 1 is yes I might be able to help you with the mail server config if you wish.
If the answer to 2 is no, or "I don't know" I can also help.

In alternative, if you don't wish to mess with the server, maybe you can configure SMF to use SMTP to send the emails. That will solve a lot of configuration problems. Well, it won't really solve them, just bypass lol

2- Are spf and dkim correctly configured on the DNS zone files?

No SPF Record for this domain according to http://www.dmarcian.com/spf-survey/bitcointalk.org
So the answer to this is no for SPF at least.  I would also highly recommend setting up a dmarc record.

DMARC is the standard by which spf and dkim records are validated.

Gmail recently started sending forum email to spam before I whitelisted the domain.

[xerces8]

I still get "Topic reply" mails into my gmail Spam folder. Last one an hour ago.
I marked them as "Not spam" now.

[DanielBTC]

Trend Micro officescan block bitcointalk.. because it is dangerous.
And blockchain.info because it is a "game site"...

 

[theymos]

There's been an SPF record for a while now. Did that help at all? Can someone post the anti-spam headers that Gmail adds to forum email?

[Stunna]

All are sent to spam currently for me :\

Do your part and mark it as not spam?
