So, I actually just gained some experience with this topic recently. First: figure out why your emails are marked as spam.

  1. Go to a mail tester (I used: https://www.mailgenius.com/ which is free ) Copy the mail address there
  2. In ProjectSend: Go to 'Tools' -> 'Test email configuration'
  3. Paste the copied email address into the 'send to' box
  4. Optionally type a test message
  5. Press the 'Send test email' button
  6. Once the email is sent, go back to your mailtester of choice, and press the 'See your score' (in the case of mailgenius)
  7. Review all items listed.

For us, we switched over to SMTP, using our Office 365 mail server (i.e. NOT from our hosted webserver environment). Furthermore, we had to update our DNS records for several anti-spam related mechanisms (SPF, DKIM and DMARC, you'll see them in your mail score).

Another tip to help you troubleshoot your emails: See all metadata sent with your e-mail, by poping out an e-mail in Outlook (in my case) Then 'File' -> 'Properties' and review the 'Internet headers' section (Copy pasting into a Text editor helps a lot)

Hope this helps you one your way
