GAE/J mail goes into Junk folder of Yahoo and Hotmail

[Ioannis Cherouvim]

The message is a standard account activation email and goes like this:
> You've successfully signed up to foobar.
>
> To activate your account please click http://www.foobar.com/auth?activate&u=165004&k=98v7axdwiuiqdidw
>
> Thanks,

I've added the following TXT DNS entry in my domain. It seemed to work
for hotmail but not for yahoo:
v=spf1 mx include:_spf.google.com include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all

What should I do next?

Is there a solution for 2011 or should I consider a third party mail
service such as http://postmarkapp.com/?

thanks a lot,
Ioannis

I have noticed this as well. My GAE emails used to be delivered to
Yahoo just fine. Recently I have noticed that many of them are not
sent to spam at Yahoo. I don't know why. I am sending from user@app-
id.appspotmail.com.

Google recently implemented DKIM for Google Apps, but it still doesn't
use it for Appengine email. DKIM gives spam filters a lot of certainty
that a message isn't spam. Star this issue:

I just moved to postmarkapp and the problems are gone.
Maybe I'll re-evaluate in a year or something.

I migrated to Amazon SES and it's working great. However, I would
definitely prefer to use GAE for my entire platform. Hopefully this
is addressed, maybe by adding dkim.
