Related problems

Gmail spam folderMail authenticated for your domain is accepted by Gmail but filed to Spam.
Missing inbox placementMail is accepted but users cannot find it in Primary, Promotions, or obvious junk — including tabs, filters, or silent discard.
Outlook junk folderOutlook.com / Microsoft 365 recipients see mail in Junk or experience SNDS/blocking symptoms.
Promotions tabGmail accepts mail but files it to Promotions instead of Primary — often expected for bulk mail, sometimes a surprise for transactional streams.
Yahoo spam folderYahoo / AOL recipients consistently receive mail in Spam despite acceptance.
Deferred messagesReceivers return temporary SMTP failures (4xx), forcing retries instead of immediate acceptance.
Delayed deliveryMail eventually arrives but takes much longer than normal due to greylisting, queues, or throttling.
Emails not deliveredMessages never reach the recipient mailbox — rejected, discarded, or stuck without a successful delivery.
Hard bouncePermanent delivery failure (typically 5xx) because the address or domain cannot accept mail.
Soft bounceTemporary delivery failure that may succeed later — full mailboxes, greylisting, or transient outages.
