X-Mailer: ColdFusion MX Application Server
I would suggest that you add your own X-Mailer header (text shouldn't matte) to the mail to at least prevent this. As for why the low confirmation rate - not sure but it could just be that many of the mails are not going through (difficult to say for sure).

Subject: Subscription verification emails..counted as junk mail?
This isn't a ColdFusion issue per se...just trying to figure out if other developers have run into this. One of our websites offers a newsletter subscription (free), and we have it set up with an opt-in procedure: they enter their email address, we send them a confirmation email with a link that they click on to activate their subscription. The technical aspects are working fine, but we are finding that only a small percentage (10%-20%) of the subscriptions are activated. Has anyone had a problem with their confirmation emails being regarded as SPA...err, Unsolicited Commercial Email? Are people still using this sort of confirmation process? -- as opposed to "send an email to..." Any ideas why the confirmation rate would be so low?
Thanks in advance,
David
