Question
Email always going to SPAM on Gmail, Hotmail, etc.
- Posted October 13, 2014
Hello, I have configured SPF, DKIM, etc. on my server, also looked if the ip is not blacklisted, but still my emails always go to SPAM.
Here’s the email headers that I get when I receive an email on Gmail (and goes to SPAM)

Hello, all
You can make sure that your mailing list is fully opted-in and that you’re using SMTP authentication.
Also to test the mail score of your emails you can use a website like:
and then send a valid test - an exact email with a valid - subject, message body, full signatures and attachments.

nope, I use postifx
do u use mailgun or google app for email?
I ran the test, got 9.5/10 just due to the fact of a couple of alt tags missing on the mail content.
