Blacklisted emails such as icloud, att and me.com

[DaveL]

I'm getting a lot of bounced emails and as such, members no receiving their email confirmation links.
From a quick read up, seems impossible to get off an icloud blacklist, so for the time being I have disabled email confirmation.

Has anyone else been in this situation and what have you done? Thinking of creating a gmail address for my site, so the emails come from there. Looks a lot less professional, but seems the only way forward.

Use a mail service to send out mails. Your IP is probably blacklisted because of a lack of reputation.

Thank you. Just found mailersend.com and going through the verification process. Free upto 10,000 emails a month, which will be a huge amount more then we actually need!

How did mailersend work out for you? I was just considering them as an option.

Still using it on two forums, no issues at all! These are the stats for one of my sites. I'd certainly give it a go, works a treat and is free.

Thanks! I'll give MailerSend a try. The 12,000 free transactional emails a month certainly hit the sweet spot.

Do you know how your inbox placement is?

Also, I'm sure I can figure it out, but sometimes it's easier to ask .... How did you integrate Mailersend with Xenforo? Was there an addon, or can it all be done in the ACP?
