Registrations with Gmail accounts do not get the confirmation e-mail

Hi

Visitors registering on our site with gmail accounts do not get the confirmation e-mail. All other users get the e-mails fine.

Does anyone know why this would be?

Thanks

Have them check their spam folders. If it's in the spam folder then GMail has blacklisted you as a spammer. There isn't much you can do about getting off GMails blacklist except email them your mail server IP Address and your domain then ask them too, but it took us over a year to get off their blacklist so it's basically a nightmare if this is your case. Alternative is to use a GMail account using SMTP to send your emails, but you're limited to like 1,000 per day or something of the sort.

Hello

Gmail has its issues from time to time - see this thread productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/rSan4jwPlGQ so it could just be that gmail itself is having a problem especially as your users with other email hosts are fine.

Worth checking that your domain has DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) set, which generally helps to qualify the email traffic produced by your website.

Kind regards

Mike
