Invitations not making it to my invitees. Caught in spam?
I have had many reports of people I invited not getting the invitations. I suspect their spam filters are catching it. This is baaaaad. real bad. Is there any way you can spoof the emails to come from my own address?

Inappropriate?We aren't getting any other reports like this. Strange. Do these particular guests use strict software that only allow validated email addresses in their address book? If you can email me directly at info @ crush3r dot com with the page URL and your sign on I can look to see what the status of the invites are.
As you might expect this is a complex situation. As much as we can we avoid spam and spammers we do. So we need to comply with what the big email providers prefer, so as to avoid getting marked as spam as much as possible. If you can ask your particular guest if they did find it in their spam box and which email provider they use that would help us.
I believe our Engineer here at the time, Russell, had it set up that way (where the organizer's email is the sender) but to better comply with best practices he switched since that other way somehow better alowed spammers to take advantage of sites like Crusher. The reply-to is still the organizer's address and we try to bring in the organizers name into the invite subject line, photo in the content, so invitees don't miss it.
This is something I'd like to continually look into. It's pretty darn important that email providers see us as a private invitation site and not a site for spamming. Thank you for reporting this and please follow up with me and I'll see if we can figure out what happened. -
Inappropriate?Ericson,
I am having a similar problem, we have over a hundred guests that haven't even viewed the invite, and even when we ask them about it they are like what invite? So maybe its getting filtered out or maybe they hate us. I sent you an email to info at crush3r dot com so you could check it out.
Thanks!

Inappropriate?Mark, I replied to your email. The place where we are hosted did go down recently so could have been related. I asked Dusty (our Engineer) to check on your invites to make sure they all sent.

Inappropriate?i've noticed this as well. is there an embeeded .gif that could sense whether the email was opened or not? i think the format of the invite email is not drawing clicks to crush3r URL. Either that or the invite messages are getting stuck in junk mail..

Inappropriate?I think partly true that the email invite is not drawing clicks to the website. This is a tough one cause we want to be useful in that all the info is included in the email, no need to visit the site. Unlike evite which forces you to visit, makes sense for them since they make money on ads. Perhaps it should be a choice by the organizer as far as one way or the other?
