Description

Hey!

I just signed up for cyclescape (great work, people!) and the email confirmation went into my gmail spam. On opening the email gmail says Why is this message in Spam? It's in violation of Google's recommended email sender guidelines. Learn more (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126?hl=en-GB&authuser=1#authentication)

Afraid I don't have the time rn to investigate any more for you.

Research direction

Start with the signup confirmation email flow and review Google's recommended email sender guidelines linked in the report, including the authentication guidance. Done means confirmation emails no longer trigger Gmail's spam warning; the issue does not name a file or test to run.
