I’m looking for an experienced cold email deliverability expert to troubleshoot an issue with my email campaigns. I’m currently sending cold emails using n8n automation, but my emails are consistently landing in Spam/Junk, even after adding a 5-minute delay between emails. I’ve already done some testing: Sending a simple text email manually → lands in Inbox Sending the email through my n8n automation → lands in Spam Creating/drafting the email through n8n and then sending it manually → still lands in Spam So I need someone who can determine why the email/content is being classified as spam and identify the actual root cause. I’m specifically looking for expertise in: Cold email deliverability Gmail/Google Workspace spam filtering Sender/domain reputation SPF, DKIM & DMARC Email headers and authentication Email content and formatting Cold email best practices Diagnosing spam placement issues Please bid only if you have real hands-on experience solving cold email deliverability problems. I’m not looking for generic advice such as “send fewer emails,” “warm up your domain,” or “wait 5 minutes.” I need someone who can analyze the setup, identify the specific problem, and provide a practical solution.

Hi, The key issue here is that the same email reaches the Inbox when sent manually but goes to Spam when it passes through n8n. I can trace that difference through the sending setup, headers, authentication, message formatting, and mail flow to find what is actually causing the spam placement instead of relying on generic warm-up or delay advice. I’ll compare the manual and n8n-sent messages, check SPF, DKIM, DMARC, sender/domain reputation, Return-Path and other relevant headers, and review how n8n is constructing and sending the email. I’ll then isolate the specific difference and fix the part responsible for the issue. I have hands-on experience with n8n email automation, API/SMTP integrations, authentication and troubleshooting deliverability issues, so I can work directly from your existing setup and focus on finding the root cause. Share the current n8n workflow and a sample of the email headers from both tests, and I’ll start from there. Best regards, Akif K

Hi, I can diagnose the exact n8n deliverability issue by comparing manual vs automated message headers, MIME structure, authentication, content encoding, sending method, and Gmail filtering signals. I’ll audit SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain reputation, n8n workflow, and SMTP/API configuration, then implement and test targeted fixes. Which email provider and sending method does your n8n workflow currently use? Let's discuss in chat to proceed further.

Hi Sir Your test results point to a clear technical issue: since drafting an email via n8n and sending it manually still hits Spam, the issue isn't your sending rate or domain warm-up—it's how n8n structures the email payload. When n8n generates the draft, it alters the underlying MIME structure, HTML formatting, or header metadata (like Message-ID patterns), triggering Google's spam filters. I specialize in n8n automation and deliverability, and I'll resolve this by comparing raw email headers ("Show Original") between your manual and n8n-generated emails to isolate the exact structural mismatch, adjust your n8n workflow parameters, and verify strict SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment to ensure clean inbox placement.

Hi, I can help you troubleshoot this properly and identify the actual reason your n8n emails are landing in Spam. Based on the tests you have already done, I don't think simply adding a 5-minute delay is the answer. The difference between your manual email and the n8n-generated email is the important clue. Your test of creating the email through n8n and then sending it manually is also useful. I would compare these messages to find what is actually different. I would check the raw email headers, SPF, DKIM and DMARC results and alignment, From/Reply-To/Return-Path, MIME structure, HTML versus plain text, encoding, links, tracking and other headers introduced by the automation. I would also review how n8n is connecting to your mailbox and sending the email, including the authentication and sending method. If Gmail or Google Workspace is involved, I would verify the authentication and domain configuration as well. My approach is evidence first, then a fix. I don't want to give you generic advice about warming, sending slower or changing the volume without first finding the specific problem. I work with n8n, email automation, lead generation and automated follow-up workflows, so I can investigate both the deliverability side and the automation itself. If you provide one email that reached the Inbox, one that went to Spam, and the raw headers from both, I can start by comparing them and narrowing down the root cause. Thanks, Fathima Nadha.
