All NodeBB Emails Using Gmail Service Landing in Spam Folder
-
Hey everyone,
I've recently set up my NodeBB forum and I'm having a really frustrating issue with the email system.
Basically, I've configured NodeBB to send registration emails and updates using my Gmail account (with an "app password" for authentication). I left all the email templates with their default settings thinking they'd work fine out of the box.
The problem is that ALL the emails are going straight to recipients' spam folders! Not ideal when you're trying to get people to verify their accounts or receive notifications.
Here's my current setup:SMTP Transport: Enabled
Pooled connections: Disabled
Allow self-signed certificates: Enabled
Using Gmail with app password
Default email templatesHas anyone else dealt with this issue? I'd really appreciate any suggestions on how to improve email deliverability so they actually land in inboxes instead of spam.
Are there specific settings I should change? Different email provider I should try? Any tweaks to the email templates that might help?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! -

Make sure the "from" value matches your actual Gmail address.

@shraga100 also check DNS records, such as DMARC, DKIM and SPF. Without these, your email will go to spam for sure.
@phenomlab would this apply when using Gmail as the sending provider?
I suppose it could if you were sending in a different
from...
