Usually a domain setting or a compromised account is making your mail look untrustworthy. Check sending authentication and account safety before changing the message itself.

What this means

Inbox companies that run the tools use technical signals to decide whether a message appears trustworthy. A domain setting or compromised account can affect delivery.

What to do first

1. Send a normal test to another inbox. 2. Check whether the issue is one recipient or many. 3. Review domain authentication with the provider. 4. Change passwords if you see mail you did not send.

When to leave it alone

Do not send more bulk mail while you are trying to understand a delivery problem.

Your next move

If nobody knows who controls the domain and email settings, start by documenting that access.

What are email trust settings (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC)?

They are domain-email settings. Use your provider’s instructions for the exact records.

Do I need a website rebuild?

This symptom is usually about email and domain configuration, not the website design.
