Email is especially funny as you can literally send email from any internet connected device, but the default assumption is that emails from new devices are just spam.
- user5994461 9y agoThat is far from correct. Any device with DNS records will work just fine.
- Cenk 9y agoAs someone who has managed multiple email servers I can assure you that this is not the case. You can do everything "correctly" and still be marked as spam on GMail for no apparent reason.
- blattimwind 9y agoThat was clearly your fault, because your IP lives in a bad neighborhood.
- Cenk 9y agoIt is so much more complicated than that, the issues persisted for completely separated servers even after multiple IP address changes. Running a small mail server and all your email landing in your customers inboxes is something that simply doesn’t happen like it used to.
- simias 9y agoI run my own email server (for personal use, not corporate or anything) and maybe I've been lucky with my IPs so far but I don't have a lot of issue getting my emails through. Admittedly for personal email it might be a bit easier because most of my recipients already have me in their address book which probably helps getting through the filters.
- throwaway2048 9y ago(maybe) according to google, who gives absolutely zero insight into this, or even any indication it is even so. great, might as well go to my local astrologer to consult about deliverability issues.
- thaumasiotes 9y agoJust last month I sent an email and gmail silently hid the reply in the spam folder. Marking legitimate email as spam is just the normal functioning of gmail.
- XR0CSWV3h3kZWg 9y agoIt will work fine in that it will send the email to the server you want it sent to. That doesn't mean it'll show up in most users inboxes.
- thefifthsetpin 9y agoOne of a myriad of reasons that this isn't true: https://www.spamhaus.org/pbl/ https://www.spamhaus.org/pbl/
- gsich 9y agoNot if you do it right.
- JumpCrisscross 9y ago> the default assumption is that emails from new devices are just spam What fraction of e-mails receive from new devices are spam? (Genuine question, if someone has a source or the data.)
- hippich 9y agocorrection - if you send thousands emails in short period of time - then new device is considered spam sender. Typically there are no issues sending small amount of emails (like logs from server) unless IP address was already blacklisted after actions of previous IP renter.
