Why Gmail Flags Student Event Certificates
Many organizers use a Python script with `smtplib` connected to a `clubpresident2026@gmail.com` address. After sending 70 emails: - Google blocks the account for 24 hours for violating outbound bulk thresholds. - Subsequent emails land directly in attendee "Spam" or "Promotions" folders.
The Professional Infrastructure Approach
- **Authenticated Transactional Endpoints**: Platforms like Spark utilize dedicated transactional email services (like Resend) with configured SPF, DKIM, and DMARC DNS records.
- **Link Over Heavy Attachments**: Rather than sending a 4 MB PDF attachment that triggers corporate spam filters, send a secure, direct download link to the attendee's certificate pass.
