The general rule of thumb for my home server is that messages to people I've contacted before, or to addressees that were in a thread that I'm also part of get delivered reliably. Messages to new people I've never emailed before often go to spam. I've learned to accept this.
- tambourine_man 4y agoThe biggest challenge is in the sending. If, for whatever reason, Gmail doesn't like your setup, even if it's 100% according to specs, it's effectively broken. And there's no one to resort to, often no previous relevant search result, because the errors are vague when not silent (you don't get to know the email was hard rejected, i.e. has not even reached the recipient's Spam box). Your only hope is for your complain to go viral on HN or Twitter and some Googler takes pitty on you.
