Use SMTP sending on global configuration in Joomla, and insert your e-mail account access data here (to be extra careful with security, place configuration.php outside public_html. You will find several documents on how to do that on the internet).

Use a VALID account, registered at your host, on your domain

Preferrably, don't set a different "reply to" e-mail

make sure your account have SPF and DomainKeys enabled

Check spamhaus and other resources to see if you are not blacklisted

Check your original email header and see if Google says it SPF pass. It is common issue to forget adding SPF pass in the name server configuration. Or paste it here so that we can check it.

If it is SPF pass then as nibra has says, add the sender address in your gmail white list and also check if you email does not contain any spam words.

You have at least two options to get around this:


Add the sender address, which you added to the Joomla! configuration, to the whitelist of your Gmail account.

Alternatively...
Re-configure Joomla! to use an SMTP account to send the mails instead of using the internal mail function.
