Custom Sender Email Address is selected so submission emails are getting flagged as SPAM, Spoofed, email couldn't be verified

Creating on behalf of Roberta Licker

Scenario: Submissions I send to my clients have a warning that they may be spoofed and Gmail couldn't verify address. Makes my clients uncomfortable.

Expected Result: Wants Custom Sender Email Address to be selected and submission emails not to be flagged as Spam, Spoofed and email couldn't be verified by mail providers like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook and other SPAM blocking software

Actual Result: As Custom Sender Email Address is turned on which mail providers like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook and others along with SPAM blocking software are more likely to block any address except “donotreply@gocanvas.com”.

  • Hi Roberta via Himanshu,

    I wish we had control over this behavior. Unfortunately, it's at the hands of the email providers you mentioned, and factors into their standard security protocols. If it's causing significant problems, I'd recommend turning Custom Sender Email Address off, as there are more things we can do to help push through emails from the GoCanvas address. 

    Thanks!

  • Hi Sara,

    Why doesn't GoCanvas offer a generic SPF record which we can add to our own domain?  That would cut down on the emails being flagged as spoofed when they're sent on our behalf from our own email address.  It's a much better option for anyone who doesn't want to use the generic "no-reply" email with GoCanvas domain - which needs to be explained to end recipients (who may still not read the emails and/or mark them as spam).

  • That's a great feature request, Corinn (feel free to add it to our list: https://help.gocanvas.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/new?community_post%5Btopic_id%5D=360000000247). We do encourage people to white list our email IP if they encounter delivery issues, so this would be a more official/easier way of making that happen. Thanks!
