Sent emails marked as phishing scams - El Forum - 12-09-2013

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I'm working with the Tank Auth library to develop a simple user registration / login management system.

Right now, when someone registers on the site, they receive an activation email. In Gmail, this email is sent straight to spam and is accompanied by a message saying that it looks like a phishing scam.

I'm new to Code Igniter & Tank Auth, but I'm assuming that the email is being sent through PHP rather than SMTP. I have defined my SMTP settings in Email.php, but that hasn't helped solve the issue.

Any thoughts?

Edit: This is interesting:

Password reset emails are not marked as phishing attempts or spam.

Also, if I disable email authentication for new accounts in config/tank_auth.php, the welcome email is not marked as a phishing attempt or spam.

From what I can tell, this issue is isolated to email authentication emails.
