Hello everyone! I’m a new Mautic user. Right now, I’m using Mautic for an email campaign, but I’ve run into a problem with Gmail. We use Google Apps for Business, and yesterday I started my first campaign. I had about 200 people on my email list. Mautic sent 30 of these emails and then Gmail just shut down. Gmail thought that my account had been hacked, and actually locked me out of my email. After having my admin grant me access again, I found that I had “reached my limit”, which I know isn’t the case since only 30 emails got sent. I still can’t actually send out emails (looks like I’m on a 24 hour ban). So my questions are: 1. How can I get Mautic to play nice with Gmail? Is there something that I missed in the setup? Would making a queue of emails be better? 2. Is there anything I can do on the Gmail/Google Apps for Business side of things that would allow me to verify Mautic as being OK and the emails that are being sent aren’t a problem? 3. Is it possible that the email seemed a bit too spammy and that’s why Gmail kicked it out? If so, what’s the best way to develop emails that won’t get kicked out by Google? Thanks in advance!! ---

We are a full service design, print and marketing firm that’s dedicated to producing high quality materials at reasonable prices. Since opening in 2009, we have worked with many different local and national races providing everything from t-shirts to dog bandanas. I came across =E2=80=8D while researching new races, and I was wondering whether you had already selected a vendor for t-shirts or other promotional items. If not, could we be given a chance to provide a quote for items that you would need for your race? To show you how dedicated we are to providing high quality printed products for your event, read this case study about how we saved the day for two different races in Pittsburgh!

Maybe you hit a SPAM honeypot? ---

I was kind of thinking that maybe there was some irrelevant html code inside of the email that made it seem spammy. That and the fact that Mautic threw all of them out at the same time. I was wondering if maybe telling Mautic to slow down and queue the messages like 5 at a time might work out better.
