LinkedInOne of the sites we’re working on sends an email upon the completion of a registration form. We were having problems with different SPAM filters catching and misflagging our emails. After doing a little research, it looks like we were omitting some important fields. Take a look at the before and after implementation.
# before
# note the lack of headers, sent on, and content type declarations
class Postoffice < ActionMailer::Base
def welcome(email)
@recipients = email
@from = "Meeta Support <happy2help@meeta.com>"
@subject = "Welcome to Meeta.com"
body[:email] = email
end
def contact(params)
end
end
# after

def welcome(email)
@recipients = email
@from = "Meeta Support <happy2help@meeta.com>"

@subject = "Welcome to Meeta.com"
@sent_on = Time.now
@content_type = "text/html"
