Why does my Oneclick Wordpress app send spam mails? (got ssl from letsencrypt)

Posted on January 8, 2017

Hello community! I’m pretty much new to Linux as a developer. For some reason, on Gmail I get all my test mails in my spam folder. Any Idea why? or if it has something to do with certificates, please attach a tutorial? :)

Thanks so much!

Check the headers in the mail for any clues? What is being used to send mail from your Wordpress app?

For an example, I tried registering another account on the site, the password arrived in spam. Tried to use a plugin called Mail Bank to try and send test mail, failed too, or maybe I should use SMTP and if that, how do I get the specific postfix username p/w etc?

try sending from your own domain or a domain other then gmail that doesnt have spf / dkim records. Not sure about postfix… im an exim kinda guy ;0
