Email Registrations trapped in Spam

Hi,
I’m using EE 3, just installed yesterday and finding my way around – but I may have found a deal-breaker. While testing sample orders to multiple email addresses (not just one) the majority of the confirmations are being trapped by the spam filter. I can’t sell tickets to my event if people can’t receive their tickets!

I tried the solution mentioned here but that has not corrected the problem.
Any help is gratefully appreciated.

Hi Niamh,

You can prevent this from happening by using a transactional email service such as Mandrill or Postmark app:

Thank you Lorenzo! Would you recommend either one over the other?

Hi Niamh,

Postmark offers 10,000 email ‘credits’ then you must purchase more.

Mandrill offers up to 12,000 per month free.

Personally I use Mandrill, one thing I would like to note if using Mandrill (or even Postmark for that matter) is that we are starting to phase out the ee-transactional-plugin in favour of wpMandrill.

The ee-transactional-plugin does almost the same as wpMandrill only it was created to fill a need when there was no other alternative, wpMandrill has now been released which is actively updated/supported and as such I would recommend using that over ours.

Great, thank you. I have installed the wpMandrill and the problem seems to be solved. I appreciate the fast responses!
