    its happened to a fair few of us, however i thinks its more on gmail's spam protection than intrepids fault

    gmail is very picky about email server setup.
    Failure to config a server using antispam policies will get you on their spam list quite easily.
    Especially if you are mass marketing.

    Happened to me and my partner, too. The mail headers look pretty good - had dkim and spf pass, among other things. Perhaps it didn't like the x-mailer setting as lots of spambots use it? Some PHPMailer setting tweaks might stop it.

    <code>X-Mailer: PHPMailer 5.2.14 (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer)</code>

    Reverse lookup probably.
    The SPF and reverse lookup dont match the IP address for the highest priority mail server (~all... softfail = weak).
    Theres no DKIM text setup on the dns host.
