Overview #
Sending email from your website is easy; getting it delivered to inboxes (instead of spam) is a science. This article explains how Xponent configures email so your site’s messages actually arrive.
Why Email Gets Blocked #
Websites that send email directly from their own server often fail spam checks: the sending server’s reputation is unknown, and providers (Gmail, Outlook) filter aggressively. The fix is sending through a transactional email service with a good reputation.
What This Means For You #
- Forms and CRM emails land in inboxes, not spam.
- Transactional messages (order confirmations, password resets, course enrollments) are reliable.
- Marketing campaigns from FluentCRM send through the same trusted path.
If You Receive Complaints About Email #
- Check the spam folder first: and tell us if messages are landing there.
- Send us the email header/ID of a failing message.
- We check SPF/DKIM/DMARC and provider logs to fix the root cause.
