I am running BP 1.5 on WordPress 3.2.1, single site install in the root directory, hosted by Mediatemple and using the Salutation theme by Parrallel.us.
I have the problem that all activation emails are arriving to user SPAM folders despite having installed the mailfrom plugin to force the default wordpress email address to be one of our existing email accounts.
I wonder if the issue could be related to the fact that these email accounts are hosted by Google Apps and not on our server where we host the website?
Does anyone have any advice as to best-practice to ensure that as many possible activation emails arrive to users inboxes?
Here’s an update for everyone following reporting the buddypress.org spammer to all their ad networks and web host

So overall, coming along quite nicely.
^F^
On the activity page I see members avatars, their names, a brief line or 2 of text and a few have ‘View’ links next to their activity. The ones that start with /activity/p/ (some number after it) are broken. I think these are Updates posted from the user’s profile, but the links show nothing, just blank content, there’s nothing there when you click on the link- just shows the avatar, name, and the links ‘View’ and ‘Delete’ but nothing below that.

I give you 2 spamming profiles, for start :
https://buddypress.org/community/members/afarabig/
https://buddypress.org/community/members/mercy123/I cannot see posts I’ve created or replied to. When I go to Forums on my profile, it is empty. How am I supposed to interact on here if I can never get back to where I was?
When I click to view Support topics by Group or My Topics, I get Page Not Found. Is it supposed to be like that?
What’s the point of having separate Community and Support tabs?
Is there an option to flag spam on your forum? I especially dislike the spammers that mention my username.
How can I give users with the “editor” user level/privilege the ability to have the admin drop down option on the front page to “mark as spammer” like admins?
As is true with most blogs, one always gets someone trying to turn your blog into a marketing tool for their own self interests. Spammers are usually paid by the end benefitter of the post. We get our share. What I am wondering is, is there a configuration, or plug-in, or other means in buddypress to capture more information on the fraudulent visitor than just the bogus email address they leave behind. Such as the IP address, or other more accurate information. My intent is to document such information, so that when I confront the management of the company who’s ad is the target of the post, I can cite my evidence. I’ve already do the whois of the company, and in some cases it’s a company in the US so I can do something with it. (Our most recent case is a company in China selling jerseys for an NFL football team. I’m sure the NFL would like to know about them.) In turn, there is at least very stupid spammer who just may get caught up in potential litigation. I just want to track them down.
