My posts seem to be being marked as spam for my email subscribers, especially gmail users. Is there any way I can prevent this on my end?
Gmail marking posts as spam
Which mail provider are you using? Does it implement SPF, DKIM and DMARC? There are very important in mail server configuration to avoid being flagged as spam.
My wife, who uses Gmail, says my posts are going to her spam folder also.
I use FastMail for my own email, and my posts are delivered to me with no issue.
Unfortunately at the moment it seems that our newsletter domain (writeasletters.com) has lost some of its reputation with Gmail, due to some abuse we encountered at the end of October. We mitigated the problem right away on our end and took steps to prevent it in the future, but it’s taking a while for us to get back into good standing with them.
For now, we could use everyone’s help if you’re a Gmail user – please subscribe to as many Write.as blogs as you’re interested in, and for any messages that end up in your Spam folder, please click Report as Not Spam.
We’ve started doing this on our end, but if more people can help out, we should get back into good standing with Google shortly.
