This is my impression too. I briefly used emails from a domain I own to my gmail account as a way to send myself "notifications". My impression was that absolute table stakes to even make e-mail deliver work AT ALL were:
- non residential IP (I had to proxy through my VPS)
- SPF
- DKIM
- use TLS with a modern cipher
And even with this, I still had to "favorite" (or whatever) AND set up a rule to "never send to spam" for my alerts@ sender address because I would still get them going to spam for no reason that I could find - I'd check the message and would see that SPF and DKIM PASSED and yet it was still going to spam.
I ended up switching to using webhooks to send alerts to a discord channel for a server that only had me in it. It works fine. It's a lot more surefire than trying to figure out email delivery
- abdullahkhalids 3y agoI have my personal mail hosted on a hetzner server using mailinabox. I didn't do anything fancy except whatever mailinabox's default config is. I have no problem with email deliverability to gmail/outlook. I think the difference is that my emails are two-way communication. I email someone, they email back or vice versa. Not a continuous stream of unreplied emails from my personal server to some gmail address (which does look like spam). I imagine if you set up a script to reply to these emails from your gmail account with lorem ipsum and then deleted those replies after a few days, your problems will disappear.
