Gmail spam filters

[Bowie Bailey <Bo...@BUC.com>]

This is a bit off-topic, but I'm hoping someone here might have some suggestions.

We are having a problem getting mail to Gmail users.  It almost always ends up in 
their spam folder.  I have set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.  The mail-tester.com email 
test gives a 10/10 for the test emails I have sent to it.  The information I've been 
able to find from Google is completely unhelpful.  I tried signing up for their 
postmaster tools, but my volume is too low to show any data.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get mail through Gmail's spam filters?

Thanks,

Bowie

if 8 millions users say this mail is spam it surrely is spam :)

hint if recipients say its not spam to them, then it could change, it 
does not being controlled by senders, even if senders do there own 
homework

Dear Bowie,

I'm afraid this really isn't a question for this email list, since it 
has nothing to do with SpamAssassin.

However, to not just send you off with nothing: IP reputation plays a 
big role for Google. If you're hosted by a provider like OVH, that seems 
to serve lots of cybercriminals, your IP might have been previously used 
for spamming and therefore just has a bad reputation already. Spammers 
nowadays also more often set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC properly. If you've 
made sure you have SSL/TLS enable, SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up, reverse 
DNS, DNS, and your email server's domain are all set up properly, then 
really the best thing you can do is give it time and ask people to mark 
your emails as "not spam" in the mean time. You may also consider 
changing providers/IP if you're with a more notorious provider.

I'm afraid you really can't do much more. It's quite unfair but it's the 
way things work I'm afraid. But again, this really isn't a question for 
this list. Perhaps try Libera IRC, some forum or something like Reddit?

Kind regards,
Bert
