Account verification email being marked as spam by Google

[Giovanniland]

Was informed of this problem when welcoming a new member to the region as they created an account.

Account was successfully verified after the email was found in the spam folder, but that Google is tagging it as spam and that it was apparently "reported as spam at least 20 times in the past" according to what the user saw, sounds fairly concerning given Gmail's prominence as an email provider.

Raising the issue here, not sure if there's any possible action on forum admins' part though or if it's solely Google's issue.

As the member in question, I believe a solution could be trying to mass-verify forum accounts and if they go to spam report it as "wrongfully reported"

There is not much I can do about that unfortunately.  Google will mark what it thinks is SPAM with little input from me.

I use Wholesale Internet for the server provider, and the IP block we're in was once used by less than honest foke, so it has a less than stellar reputation on block lists. (Wholesale is cheap and quick to setup a server, so abuse happens.)

Understood, that's unfortunate. Thanks for looking into it Winni!
