I have my own domain mydomain.com and on it, I have the email myname@mydomain.com, which is created using cPanel email options. Every time I send email with it to certain gmail account, it ends up being marked as spam. How to solve this situation?

I had exactly the same issue on my server, and here is how I solved it. First you need to check is your server IP blacklisted as spam source on http://www.mxtoolbox.com/ Type your domain name (without www) and hit MX Lookup. After that click on Blacklist Check link and see is your server IP blacklisted. If yes, contact your hosting, if not follow the steps bellow. In most cases (if your server IP is not blacklisted) you are not having SPF and DomainKeys options enabled inside your CPanel Email Authentication settings. To enable DomainKeys and SPF on your cPanel account follow these steps: 1. Open CPanel of your account 2. Click on Email Authentication under Mail settings. 3. Click on Enable buttons under DomainKeys section and SPF section. 4. Under advanced settings add your email domain and other domains from which maybe you will use the email into all fields... 5. Add domain where your IP address actually resolve (you can find where your server IP resolve by using this resolver). 6. Save the settings. Now when you send email from your own domain to Gmail, your message will have proper SPF and DomainKeys in the email headers and will not end up in spam.

I just compiled small plugin from code available online, which will disable password reset function "Lost your password" in Wordpress. This will enhance security of your Wordpress site especially in case if you have lot of Wordpress sites and you want to be able to change passwords only from MySQL. On top of that it will disable error message which tells potential attacker, what he mistaked username or password while typing the name. This plugin is in no way absolute security and it would be nice addition to a combo of Limit Login Attempts and Bulletproof security. Do note that if you forget password you will not be able to reset it through "Lost your password?" but only on one of the more advanced ways listed on Resetting Your Password Wordpress Codex page. You can download plugin here: Disable Password Reset WP Plugin

Sve više i više domaćih webmastera se priklanja email spamu kao sredstvu promocije vlastitih stranica. Upravo dobih sledeći email od navodne Jelene vlasnice sajta wallpapersdir.com, a gdje u whois sajta fino piše da je Branko Rajković iz Beograda. Valjda čovjek misli da je ljudima prijatnije da misle da su spam dobili od neke fine djevojčice po imenu Jelena. Sadržaj e-mail poruke:
