When I get update emails from Kays gmail is putting:
This message may not have been sent by: kaytastrophe@gmail.com Learn more Report phishing

I figured I'd post and toss it out there in case it was a quick/easy fix :D


When I click on Learn more and scroll down it says:
I know that the message was really sent by the sender. What can I do?

Many small senders don't follow good sending practices and do not provide authentication information. This can lead to incoming emails being misclassified as spam, and it can also attract spammers who use the sender's name to send out spam.

We recommend contacting the sender of the email and encouraging them to authenticate their messages by publishing a SPF record.

SPF record: An SPF record is a list of IP addresses that are authorized to send mail for a particular domain. For more information on how to publish an SPF record, please visit http://www.openspf.org.
domain: A domain is a name for an IP address and is more commonly recognized as a website or web address. For example, Google.com is a domain.
DKIM: DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a way to digitally sign messages and verify that the messages were sent by a particular domain. It works like a wax seal on an envelope, preventing messages from being tampered with.

I never get emails from Kay's.

Do they just like you more or something?

I thought everybody got emails from Kays. How do you keep up on the super secret porn without getting the emails?

I'm about 99.99999% sure Google is not going to let us become an authorized IP for sending gmail.

PiS, I tend to subscribe to a number of threads, and Kay's is nice enough to email me when new posts show up. :)

I figured it was worth mentioning at least, no worries Varaj.
