Probably because the user have set a gmail account as his mail address?

First read in detail, think about it, then answer!
By the way, did I ask you or did I ask the site admin?

Because you should still receive the e-mail, although it will go to the Spam folder. -> go to mail.google.com and check the spam folder.

This is ... not very helpful!

Hallo xyz!

Ihr Account auf Total Commander wurde deaktiviert, vermutlich durch Änderungen an Ihrem Profil. Klicken Sie den folgenden Link an, um den Account wieder zu aktivieren:

Sorry, but I have to use my native language to explain what I mean with this post...


Warum wird eine Anmeldung mit einer GMail-Adresse mit dem u.a. Text bestätigt, obwohl scheinbat seit Jahren bekannt ist, dass Google die Mails als Spam markiert oder sogar ganz blockiert???

Hilfreich wäre z.B. vielleicht folgende Ergänzung:

Das hätte mir und anderen einiges an Zeit gespart!!!

Sorry aber dann kommen Millionen von Spammern und melden sich mit Fake-GMail-Adressen an, wenn es ohne Mailverifikation gehen würde.

Eine Zeit lang habe ich GMail komplett gesperrt bei der Anmeldung, aber das hat vielen Usern auch nicht gepasst. Deshalb erlaube ich es jetzt, mit dem Hinweis auf den Spamordner.

What's the November '17 status of the Gmail issue?

GMail is still moving all forum e-mails to the spam folder. My repeated requests to GMail to fix it were completely ignored.

This is NOT true (in my experience)!

GMAIL does NOT move the "Welcome to Total Commander Forums"-E-mail to the spam folder (the confirmation e-mail you receive after registering).

But all other following e-mails are completely blocked by GMAIL!!!
The owner of this forum did write this already in 2013: "Some were indeed blocked, not just put into spam folder - I got regular e-mails from GMail users that they didn't get any reply at all."

But unfortunately the owner of this forum does NOT give any hint about this in the confirmation e-mail.

I did what the admin ask to: changed my contact e-mail to my work e-mail. I'm not happy about it, but hey, whatever works...

And rant about it https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/lMlN9WzASiI;context-place=forum/gmail

That's pointless - no one is working at Google, they have all been replaced by AI...

Is there a chance it has something to do with phpbb2 (the last few years at least) or the way the mail is sent (TLS/no TLS)? Maybe it's not just the content. Let's see if anything changes after the forum upgrade...

Mail from Total Commander is always detected as spam in my inbox with the following details. Maybe they can be resolved. I do not have problems getting mail from spam box, but users of other systems might.
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=4.2 required=4.0 tests=BAYES_50,PHP_NOVER_MUA, RDNS_NONE,T_DKIM_INVALID autolearn=no autolearn_force=no version=3.4.0

X-Spam-Report: * 2.0 BAYES_50 BODY: Bayes spam probability is 40 to 60% * [score: 0.4922] * 0.0 T_DKIM_INVALID DKIM-Signature header exists but is not valid * 1.2 RDNS_NONE Delivered to internal network by a host with no rDNS * 1.0 PHP_NOVER_MUA Mail from PHP with no version number

DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=ghisler.ch; s=default; t=1530000283; bh=E8RvELi1yTvyQzL7gNjx5UotOguTCp29Q9zAL5SIXEY=; l=710; h=Subject:To:From; b=urqx7+HHS+rn32/RwBv6Q0+q/h3IyrS5Qfw3bTAGLaOBJlaIYtq9X/W7xiPKJAazl BMpotKuPBotE+FldS3Fd7a1L/gdI3IcybXk4z1LI4y3Sa90VV12qaShiHDfcMrrgk1 fO6mvHTh7BiKr5ve1adl1sjaDYKjnxoqe5A1kpS4=
Unfortunately, I made a reckless mistake trying to force a mail to come so that I can copy this header, and "inactivated" my forum account by specifying a non-existing e-mail address {deleted} Can you please change the e-mail back? :oops:

I think changing the forum engine might not be the best direct way to resolve this problem with SSL/spam. Current forum is very fast, and works in any old&new browser. Modern forums from phpbb3 and IPB are slow (!), force to use a modern browser, and modern conventions in their UI are hard to understand (also maybe no bbcode). Maybe for those who want new forum ( viewtopic.php?t=50151 ), it is enough to dress this one up with rectangular flat design visual style and low contrast... :lol:

You didn't tell me your old mail address, so I used the one from your j7ndominica account also for your j7n account.

About the spam checker, I also made two tests:
1. isnotspam.com reports that the message passes DKIM:
