xenForo Mails SpamAssassin HEADER_SPAM Issue

[CabCon]

Hey community,

since a few weeks my forum mails (email confirmation, conversations and forum watch) mostly go to Spam (gmail). I checked my mail and used mail-tester to find the issue. I'm getting an issue called "HEADER_SPAM" in the SpamAssassin category. I tried to google it and find something about it but I failed. What is the issue about? How to fix it?



Can anyone confirm that RDNS_NONE helps to fix emails going to spam?

Also does anyone else know some tips and tricks about how to make the best out of mailing? I'm maybe thinking to switch my mail to a mail service. Has anyone some recommendations?

Best regards,
CabCon.

I believe those are added by the receiving mail servers, not by Xenforo.

I would note that Gmail is quite possibly the absolute worst when it comes to sending mail to spam, even when it isn't but mail, although Yahoo and AOL and Hotmail/Live/Outlook are right up there.

Make sure your email server has valid DKIM and SPF records, as well as Reverse DNS (PTR) - this is what RDNS means above.
