E-Mail BounceBacks or Classified as SPAM

[NoCo7]

I am sure this isn't a problem that is plagueing just me, and it's really starting to get annoying... Maybe someone out there can make a suggestion, or a new type of mod to fix this issue.

For our forums we have activation e-mails as being required to complete your member activation... Which is fine, works like a charm @ weeding out bunk e-mail addresses.

However..........

Seems hotmail.com and couple other FREE e-mail providers flags our activation e-mails as junk, which creates confusion on the contact admin option in our forums because some people just don't know they even have a junk mail folder... lol

We also get alot of bouce backs from some e-mail addresses, but they are indeed REAL email addresses. Why?

1st off, possible to fix this from our end?

2nd, Is there a plugin that will allow activation e-mails to be sent from a 2ndary e-mail address of choice like a .hotmail if the server notices a bounce back from the 1st primary e-mail addy sending the activation e-mail.


Any input, feedback or help with this is appreciated! :up:

It's the content of the body/title that gets flagged as spam. Rewrite the text used and you'll be fine.
