♥14steve14 493 Posted October 6 I am having a bit of a problem where all my 'New Customer' emails are being returned and marked as spam. I have not altered the email from that as in the standard code. The problem started early last week. My hosts have apparently changed nothing and I have restored a copy of the website before this point. The hosts are suggesting that something in a standard email does not comply with CAN_SPAM requirements. Has anyone else had similar problems as I can see nothing really different between my older edge version of the emails and the latest Phoenix ones. If I send the text of the email that has been bounced back to a different email address using the same email as the store sends from within my hosting account the email is received fine.

So if you have not changed your email setup (default text) and your not pushing out marketing emails then nothing should have changed. Unless you host has started using a new spam filter on the mail server. feel free to send a test email to one of the test site and will see if it gets flaged as spam.

♥JcMagpie 1,428 Posted October 6 Just had a quick look and don't see any new bit's for the UK. Email marketing and text messages You’re only allowed to send marketing emails to individual customers if they’ve given you permission. Emails or text messages must clearly indicate: who you are that you’re selling something what the promotions are, and any conditions Check that you are not sending emails to anyone who’s asked not to receive them, using the Email Preference Service. If you buy or rent a mailing list, ask the supplier if you have the right to use it for email marketing. Every marketing email you send must give the person the ability to opt out of (or ‘unsubscribe from’) further emails. You must tell customers if you add them to a list of people who do not want to be emailed. https://www.gov.uk/marketing-advertising-law/direct-marketing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had not changed anything and just in case something had been changed some how I restored the whole site to a point before I was having the trouble which was only a few days ago. I did read through a standard new account email and can see nothing that should not be there as it's a transactional email not a marketing email. What I have done is to alter the email title just to see if it would make any difference and it's a case of wait and see.

♥14steve14 493 Posted October 7 This morning no returned emails. Whether its the title change or the fact that my hosts did something their end and cleared the cache on Spam Experts I wont know. What I may do is put the email title back to what it was and see if it does it again. If it does I will know how to correct it.

♥peterpil19 116 Posted October 7 (edited) I was having similar issues with customers using hotmail accounts. New account / order emails would get rejected. Emails I sent them directly were fine. Highly frustrating. So I registered a hotmail account and played around with the email content until they stopped getting rejected. Removing the name of the store and the 'separator' line which appears at top of emails (needed to be both) worked. I do not know why. It makes no sense to me.

♥ecartz 121 Posted October 7 For future reference, another possibility is to check if you've been blacklisted. https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx If you look in the extended headers of an email that you send to yourself, you can get all the IPs through which the email passed. A blacklist would have exactly the behavior that you describe. It will start without warning or changes. And stop the same way. 1 peterpil19 reacted to this Always back up before making changes.
