Account activation email - Not Spam.
Hi all,
I have site which requires members to register in order to access certain sections. When they register an email is sent to the email address they registered at with an activation link. They receive the email, click on the link and the account is activated.
All this works well, the only problem I have is that the emails are not always being received as Hotmail, yahoo mail etc often place these in a Spam folder.
How do I go about optimising the emails so as they are not trashed. If the activation link is not clicked… no account.
I am using persits aspMail to send the messages.
Any advice or help is much appreciated.
Kind regards
Aplimedia

Try to prefix SPAM-LOW in the subject of your email and see if the problem solves. Otherwise, if you use an SSL server for your emails you will not face this problem.
