PSA for Gmail Users Having NOR PMs Marked as Spam

Post by Windemere »

A few of us have noticed that gmail seems to consider NOR notifications to be spam (naughty gmail!). You may want to consider adding a filter in your gmail account that tells it never to flag NOR notifications as spam. Here is what I did to fix the problem:
  • From your gmail client, click the gear icon in the top right corner and choose "settings"
  • Select the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" context menu.
  • Choose "Create New Filter" towards the bottom of the screen.
  • In the "From" field, enter newoutriders.org (this will prevent any mail from NOR going to spam, such as newsletters)
  • At the bottom right hand of the box click "Create filter with this search"
  • On the next page, check the box that says "Never send it to Spam"
  • Then select the blue "Create Filter" box
Now you'll know immediately when a NORbie is trying to reach you via PMs on the forums. :hailnor

The newsletter that went out earlier today also got marked as spam in my GMail account. The filter Wind mentions won't catch that, since the from address is "newsletter@newoutriders.org". The filter should work for everything coming from a NOR domain if you use "newoutriders.org" as the from address instead.

Thanks Bob, I hadn't realized that the newsletter came from a different address so I've updated my original post. Good suggestion!
