if you don't want it to go to your spam folder, you have to set it not to.

 

You don't have to change your email settings for any new email address that's sending multiple new emails to divert to the spam folder.  Most email accounts do that automatically.

 

So - your email account is doing what it does.  Generally speaking, I think most forums tell users to check their spam folders as well as regular folders for confirmation emails etc, because often they just get sent there. 

 

On the ASMB, which was a corporate board even, that was the case a large portion of the time.

 

It just happens. 

 

and for it not to happen, you have to change your email settings such that those particular emails don't go to spam.

 

Otherwise, they'll just keep doing that.

If you mark one or two of them as "not spam," most email clients get the message pretty quickly.

The primary reason the notifications end up in your spam folder is because they come from this server instead of a well known mailserver.

 

Most of the time when random emails start coming from some server from nowhere, it's spam.

 

That being said, if the majority of you hit "not spam" on the notifications that end up in your spam folder, within a couple weeks most of the major email clients will figure out our server is trustworthy.
