    I always check my spam in my email.
    The thing is after making this site mail no spam again & again I am getting mail in spam.
    I think you have not enabled -f feature.

    Sorry but I don't understand what your saying?
    The email sent out today would of came from my godaddy account.
    All other site emails should show up in your inbox (subscribed threads etc...)

    I am saying that all emails those are send to us are coming in spam.
    Some forums like vBulletin, etc have feature where they can enable -f Parameter(Some sendmail servers may require the '-f' parameter to be sent with email calls from PHP. If you are having problems with users not receiving email, try enabling this option. In all likelihood, your problem will not be caused by this setting.).

    I think xenforo also have these feature.
    By using this feature email dn't go in spam.

    Well I just receive the notification of this thread in my inbox.

    But I forgot my pass and when I try to use forgot password all emails are coming in spam.

    Okay, I understand now.
    I'll look at that tonight.

    All mine come to my inbox but if they are going to users spam box, this is certainly something we need to fix asap.

    Thanks @Yush Bhardwaj

    I'm thinking of using a professional newsletter program from now on like constant contact or maybe mailchimp so we shouldn't have this type of issue again.
    Once we get a few of the photoshop tutorials on the site and an interview or two, I'll send a mass newsletter out to attract members. :)

    It's your email provider. All emails from other forums go directly to my inbox. The only spam I get, is spam. Try a different email provider and then update your email's on the forums you are registered on.

    stupid gmail :mad:

    There isn't much we can do, at least that's what I've been told. Short of contacting gmail and asking them why it's blocked.

    Which is really odd since this domain is brand new, so there wouldn't be any "reports" about it.

    We actually had an issue with our IP. We now have a dedicated IP for this forum & my other one, then a shared IP for all my other sites.

    In about 30 mins the emails on admin talk should go to the inbox.

    Like I said, give us about 30 mins and we'll be good.
    We've tested it on my other forum and the emails are going to our inbox.
    We have to do a little something on the server still, but it'll be fixed by this afternoon. ;)
