This morning I was told by my local parkrun that my emails to them went straight to their spam folder. They found them by chance. This is a recent problem because, before amonth ago, my emails to parkrun had got to them without a problem. I told a friend who I had also sent emails recently, and he told me that he had found my emails in his spam folder too. As far as I know, these are the only cases but if my emails are going to spam folders how would other recipients know I had sent them?
Is this a Greenby problem or gmail problem, or what? I dont use gmail but the recipients might.
As you describe it here I would say it is partly a Gmail problem (assuming parkrun is hosted on Gmail *) and partly a Plusnet/BT host IP address range issue - much referred to in other posts on this forum.
Your friends would know about your messages in their spam folders if they checked their own spam folders!
Firstly, as your emails have at least been delivered, albeit to the recipient's spam folder, it is IMO up to the recipients to help by marking them as 'Not Spam' at their end. Hopefully they would then teach their end's spam filter that your emails are not spam, for future use. If this doesn't work - it should help - then more approaches may need to be tried.
The background to all this, IMO, is the increasing amount of spam email companies have to deal with now, due to the use of AI Bots in generating spam etc. Companies are having to use higher security checks to try and cope and this is causing problems of various kinds.
