TCwho Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Hey Everybody, I have noticed on three accounts I created for testing purposes, that the Welcome email after account creation success is viewed as Bulk Mail/Spam on Yahoo Email Accounts. However, if I send emails from within osC to those same customers, they receive the email just fine. ...??? I dont know what could be the problem .... I have tried changing the Subject Line....didnt work I have tried changing the Store Owner ...(since welcome email uses that as the name of sender)...didnt work ....changed it to name or store...changed it to info@etc... ...didnt work What could be causing the Welcome emails to be viewed as Bulk Email/Spam on Yahoo Accounts while regular emails sent from within osC admin panel are accepted as regular mail? anyone experience this before and knows the solution?

♥Vger Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Others have had this problem - don't know what the fix is, but I did see one posted here in the past two weeks. Do a search of the General and Installation forums and you should find it. However, since Yahoo provide bulk e-mailing services to around 80% of the worlds spammers I think it's a bit rich of them tagging your mail as spam! Are you using your domains' smtp server to send your mail, or are you relaying via an e-mail address you have elsewhere? This will cause your mail to get tagged as being 'relayed' and that will get it blocked. Vger
TCwho Posted December 3, 2004 Author Posted December 3, 2004 Will do a better search... I search all the forum about 8 or 9 pages deep..... HMMM :( I gotta pick better search words >_< ahhh... I am using my domains smtp server. So those accoutns at yahoo are getting it with my [email protected] ....Yahoo is only flagging the Welcome Email as Bulk Mail/Spam :angry: However, since Yahoo provide bulk e-mailing services to around 80% of the worlds spammers I think it's a bit rich of them tagging your mail as spam!

♥Vger Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Another thing that could cause the problem, and this applies to all shared servers, is that even though the e-mail address is on your domain in the header it usually gives the name of the server as the actual source of the mail. Some hosting company provide 'stealth' on their servers to mask this, but most do not. Try going to www.dnsreport.com and find out what it says about the mail servers for your domain. Vger
TCwho Posted December 3, 2004 Author Posted December 3, 2004 everything reports back fine from dnsreports........ but I am narrowing it down...I have pretty good idea.... Hopefully I will be back with the solution.... Drop_Shadow How Did You Hear About Us Email HTML Order Link ---- GMT -5:00
TCwho Posted December 3, 2004 Author Posted December 3, 2004 OMG Found IT! You won't believe what yahoo is flaggin. I sent myself about a dozens emails trying to narrow it down. When I remove this line: Note: This email address was given to us by one of our customers. If you did not signup to be a member, please send an email to [email protected]. The email gets thru into the regular INBOX.... :) Glad to know why.... now just gotta go back in and change my welcome email ......... BTW: my previous email that were getting sent from Admin were not viewed as spam until I sent it with the text from my welcome email........ :rolleyes: Drop_Shadow How Did You Hear About Us Email HTML Order Link ---- GMT -5:00
