| No delivery of emails for internal email invitations (employee survey) If you use the email invitation tool for your employee survey or for testing, you may find ot that the emails are not being delivered to you or end up in spam. This has the following background: If you send an email to yourself or colleagues with the same email domain colleague@your-domain.com with your email domain you@your-domain.com, then your mail server expects an internal mail, but the mail originates from the outside server of easyfeedback. The mail could look like spam and will be blocked or marked as spam. This is basically what should happen mostly, but in this case it is a little hazard. Send 'via' … You can verify, that the email was intentionally sent through easyfeedback. For this practice we attach a 'Send on behalf of indivsurvey.de' to the mail. Usually this should already be enough, to get the mail delivered. Example display of the email header:
Set authentication (SPF record) In case the mails are still not being delivered, you need to authenticate the sending of mails from the easyfeedback server on your side. It might be necessary that you set a so-called 'SPF record'. Like this you will be allowed to use your mail addresses while sending via the easyfeedback server. Please pass on the following SPF record to your IT departmen, togethr with the request to include this into the DNS entry of the name server: v=spf1 mx:indivsurvey.de -all
If mails are still not being delivered, there might be something within the in-depth settings or your firewall blocking these mails. Please consult your IT department on this issue. |
