GMail suspects confirmation email in stealing personal information
- by Dennis Gorelik
When user registers on my web site, web site sends user email confirmation link.

If my web site sends that email to GMaill (either @gmail.com or another domain that's handled by Google Apps) and that user never emailed to email -- then GMail not only puts the email to spam folder, but also adds prominent red warning:Be careful with this message. Similar messages were used to steal people's personal information. Unless you trust the sender, don't click links or reply with personal information. Learn more
That warning really scares many of my users, so they are afraid to open that link and confirm their email.
What can I do about it?
Ideally I would like that message end up in user's inbox, not spam folder. But at least how do I prevent that scary message?
IP address of my mailing server is not blacklisted:
http://www.mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=blacklist%3a208.43.198.72
I use SPF and DKIM signature.
Below is the email that ended up in spam folder with that scary red message.
