Hello, email sent from our (hosted) discourse instance seem to always appear in the “Promotion” tab of our user’s gmail account which ends up being confusing for most of them.  
There have been a few topics about this issue but didn’t find any solution and decided to create a new topic instead of necro-posting.

I did follow the howto instructions to configure SPF and DKIM.

Anyone with a solution to this issue?
