Apple Emails End Up In Gmail Spam Folders: Reports

Apple’s adoption to a higher DMARC standard has caused emails sent from an Apple email address to end up being flagged as spam in Gmail, according to reports in MacRumors and the Mac Observer.   

Joe Rossignol writes in MacRumors that he noticed the problem when emails he sent to Gmail addresses went unanswered.

“Eventually, one of my recipients alerted me that my email went to spam, and I turned to Google to do some research,” he writes. 

The result is that “using an email address from an Apple domain using a different service provider than Apple will cause it to be marked as spam,” the Mac Observer reports.

Rossignol adds that “emails sent from an Apple-provided email address, such as @mac.com, @me.com, or @icloud.com, via a third-party email client such as Gmail, are now likely to be automatically marked as spam.” 

He was informed by Apple that he could avoid the problem by “ensuring that emails from my @me.com address are set up to be sent through iCloud SMTP servers: smtp.mail.me.com.”
