Server emails are considered as SPAM only by Gmail

http://serverfault.com – I'm developping a service which lets users send our content via email to their friends. The problem is that those emails often ended up as Spam. So I went through all the stuff to make my server send nice emails with correct headers (SPF, DKIM, rDNS, etc...). Now the emails have clean headers, and are being received fine by hotmail or yahoo, but are still being marked as spam in Gmail ! I am going completely crazy over this, since I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The welcome message when a user subscribes has almost the same template, and yet is not considered as Spam... Here is a s (HowTos)

I have a very strange problem with my emails being marked as spam by hotmail. I just have configured Postfix + Dovecot on my server and all works perfectly. I can Send/Receive emails.

PHP Mail() to Gmail = Spam 26 weeks 2 days ago

Recently Gmail has started marking emails sent directly from my server (using php mail()) as spam and I'm having problems trying to find the issue. If I send an exact copy of the same email from my email client it goes to the Gmail inbox.

I recently installed and configured spamassassin using this tutorial

I sent some spammy emails to test if it was working, and it appears to be filtering out the spam emails from hitting my inbox, but I can't figure out where the spam emails are going.

Folks,

When we have a new user sign up for hosting via WHMCS with their gmail account , 50% of emails go to the inbox and 50% go to the spam folder.

The emails that make to the inbox are titled

Welcome Invoice Payment confirmation Customer Invoice

The emails that go to spam (are the most important ones!)

New account information Order Confirmation

All originate from the 1 email

I have virtual server (Amazon EC2).

Emails from it (postfix) are sent into spam folders to some of the email services. And they are not sent to some emails (including some addresses on gmail).

There is no IP and hostname in spamhaus blacklists. How can I solve this problem?

Few days ago I have installed Hmail on my server, with pretty default config. Today i saw, that this e-mail server is not working for my local e-mail account providers (my country's local yahoo versions etc), emails sent by my server are only properly received by gmail.

I am having some issues with emails getting sent from one of my websites using the PHP mailer. When I am using my own email server with spamassassin the emails comes through without a problem, but with gmail and hotmail they go straight to the junk box!

Having this issue on a cPanel server 11.34.1 that hosts multiple domains. Email originating from this box on the sendingdomain.com address is flagged as Spam by Gmail. I've implemented SPF and DKIM, both of which pass in the email header below. The sending IP is not on and blacklists & rDNS is setup and resolving properly.

I have been developing a PHP application and one of the features in that application is the ability to send e-mails to users. However, when I tried to send e-mails via application (SMTP) to Gmail and Hotmail accounts, they always go to Spam/Junk box. This doesn't happen when I use Google SMTP for sending them.
