Oh shit, I think that’s why emails from my domain have been going to spam lately. I guess I fucked up my reputation with gmail. Currently registrations require approval, but they still send an email verification link. Maybe I’ll just close them. Thank you so much for pointing this out!

I use mxroute. In my case, I’m able to specify an SMTP connection to use for forum registrations, so I set up noreply.[domain.ext] and pointed the MX records to mxroute. You can use the cheapest plan which IIRC used to be $10/yr if you caught a discount (locked in price).
One of the nice things is that they detect email addresses used to spam signups, so it won’t even send an email - which means they can’t confirm the account.
But also, emails via mxroute don’t end up in spam in my experience.
All that said, doesn’t prevent account creation, just emails in spam and account confirmation.
If that’s not useeful, my apologies and do ignore me :)
Wouldn’t it be enough to send the verification after the approval?
From which mail server do you send the emails from? Use something like SMTP2GO.
