    All the authentication emails that are sent out after registration seem to be reaching my users spam folders. Please help me sort this out. What do I need to look at in my installation to solve this problem?

    I am running BP 1.0 on WP 2.7.1

    off the top of my head, the only idea i have would be to include a little blurb about checking junk mail/setting up a filter prior to signing up. i’ve seen some services do this usually in big bold letters.

    Thanks Mike,

    I have been trying to figure out how to include that in the screen that comes up after a user enters their registration details and clicks next. Would you know what I have to edit?

    Actually the problem is not only with activation emails..all emails generated by buddypress (alerts about private messages etc) seem to be going to the spam folders.

    I notice that all the emails that are going out by my website have mailed by: gator754.hostgator.com in the details section (I am checking in gmail).

    Could this be the reason they are going to the spam folder?

    The inner workings of the e-mail spam detectors are strange and mysterious. You are probably right in that having your mail sent by a server on a domain hostname different than the domain specified in the “from” field in the mail (your domain) counts against them. I’d set up a big “check your junk mail” blurb as suggested above, and recommend your members to mark all BuddyPress e-mails as “not spam”.

    @plrk, I guess the check you junk mail message would be best on second register screen (the one that comes up after clicking next. However I am unable to find the code to edit to add the message. Can anyone tell me which file it resides in?
