Dear admidio programmers,
thank you and congrats for your nice product. A couple of days before I have installed your product as a support of a photography group.
Almost everything works fine but there are a two things where I have problem.
1. Although the system creates albums (I confirmed this through server filesystem AND database records), these albums, the photos and the related buttons don't show on Photo page. If I get the link to an album from the rss feed and visit that link I can see the photos of this album and the related buttons to upload more photos but when I visit the photo module from menu shows nothing. I need this functionality because we are a photography group and we want our photos to be there. Is there a possibility that the source of this problem is the lack of a php module? Can you mention the specific php libs for this section to check? Help wanted!
2. Second problem is the mail system. php method is no good because almost is flagged as spam so I use SMTP with an email account registered in the same domain as admidio. This email works fine normally but through admidio more than 90% of the emails are going to spam folders. That is not a mayor problem because I managed to make workarounds talking with the users, but still is a mess for every new user to explain the workaround. Any suggestion on this?
Thank you for your prompt reply

Hi Greg,
I cannot comment on your first question, but the second one I can give a shot at:
Larger email providers like Google and Microsoft tend to mark email as spam when they do not have DKIM headers, a SPF record and the accompanying DMARC policy, of course I don't know if you have configured these. Depending on where you host your site (I'm hosting two admidio sites from home, and dynamic IP addresses are per definition spam sites, therefore I use my ISPs mailserver as smart relay), the IP address might have a bad spam score.
But it helps already a lot if your users put the address you send email from in their address books.
