spam list

[András Hőnigschmidt]

Hi,

I work for a company, who is offering jobs for students. We send
thousands of e-mails per day for our registered users. I suspect, our
domain was added to Gmail's spam list, because all of our newsletters
land in Gmail's 'spam' folder. Is there a way to remove my employer's
domain from the spam list?

Thank You and regards,

You'll need to train Gmail that the message is not spam.  To do this you will manually have to go into your Spam link, open each message and click the "Not Spam" button.  Eventually Gmail will learn.

 

To make this a little easier you should be able to create a filter that labels these messages.  Then your Labels menu will show when a new mesage has come in, since spam usually does not register as unread mail.

GMail does not (publicly at least) maintain a blacklist, but rather an
algorithm that scores mail by a number of factors, which includes
domain factors (amount of spam reported by various users, how the DNS
fields match up).

The best advice I can offer is for your legitimate list members to add
your "from" address to their contact list. According to Google, this
acts as a "whitelist" (I have not personally verified this, but can
say no mail ever sent from an address in my contact list has ever been
marked spam, so I believe it is true). Each GMail account's spam
filter is a combination of global spam ranking applied to all inbound
messages, and individual account ranking. A high enough rank makes it
to the spam marking.

In my experience, adding a "From" address to my Contacts does not
prevent messages from that address from being marked as Spam. I keep
unmarking them, though, and hope that I'm not confusing the
"learning".

(I'm a list manager and receive messages asking me to approve messages
which are, in fact, spam ... but I don't want the ones from the list
software going into my spam box.)

Hmmm ... now that I think about it, the same messages go to two
different Gmail accounts. In one, they get marked as spam more often
than not, and in the other, they almost never get snagged. What's
different about the latter account is that in it, I have a filter to
assign a label to the messages from the list-owner address. I think
I'll create the same filter in the former account and see if that
keeps the messages from being marked as spam.

Even though I have filters to add labels to certain emails, sometimes
such emails wind up in SPAM. I have to rescue them back into the
Inbox.

I just don't think any spam detector can always be completely accurate.
