Gmail’s spam filters

[vegas]

They say they have become ridiculous and tedious,what you think,how do I make the mails from my server to not end up in gmails spam folder?

Gmail's filter setup is pretty complex. You never know how an email will get tagged as spam as there are not verbose headers or logs which help anyone with this information. However, there are many articles available on the internet which show some tips on avoiding mails being tagged as spam. The link below shows some useful information.

You can at the most whitelist the email address which you do not want to end up in Gmail spam folder.

Is not about my email of gmail man is about the confirmation emails of my servers that go to spam folder of people,capizzco?

You can do a whole of things for this. One of them is routing all mails to gmail using a third party mail services provider like sendgrid or mandrillapp.com etc. Exim and cpanel are flexible enough to allow you smart relay using these services.

It's tough, but we found that if you use WHMCS and route your outbound email through Gmail's SMTP servers, chances are less likely to have your email marked as spam, unless you fill it with links. Gmail is ok with 1 or 2 links, but 3 will trigger the spam filter, as far as I can tell.

We use Google Apps for our domain email, so we have a support@***.ca.

If you're using WHMCS,
Setup > General settings > Mail tab. Set the "Mail type" to SMTP and use the Gmail SMTP settings. All your email from WHMCS will now go through Gmail's SMTP servers, including order confirmations, invoices etc.

The downside is that everything will be sent from 1 email address, so if you have multiple departments for your support set up, no matter which department you're sending from, all mail will go through that 1 email address.

It requires custom exim routers for mail routing. You can hire someone to do it for you.

I've noticed all emails from a new domain (no matter the terms used) is marked as spam by gmail. It's an uphill battle to ensure delivery these days.
