I have a shared server, meaning many people share the same IP.

When I send an email, the @website.com is different from someone else that shares the same IP with me, therefore Gmail marks it as spam.

For example:

  • My website's IP is 1.2.3.4. My website is mywebsite.com
  • Person 2's website's IP is hosted by the same host, and as such their IP is 1.2.3.4
  • Person 2's website is person2.com. When they send an email, it gets sent from [email protected]
  • When I send an email, it gets sent from [email protected]
  • According to Gmail's spam thing: "Use the same address in the 'From:' header on every bulk mail you send."

Again, the only similarities between our websites is the IP. However, this causes Gmail to mark both our mail as spam.

Is there a way to sort this out with Gmail?
