Zendesk’s mailserver reputation has got to be extremely poor by now. I think they will have trouble with deliverability after this is over. Got about 50 of these today and nearly all of them were categorized as spam before they made it to the inbox despite being nominally “legit”

Unfortunately mail server reputation's based on how rich and important you are and not how much spam you send

Well, I got most of the Zendesk inbox-bombing emails into SPAM in Gmail.

All support[at]<company>.zendesk.com were flagged, none of them reached the Inbox.

Most of whatever[at]company.tld were flagged also. I think only Headspace and another that I don't remember got to my inbox. There were some automatic SPAM flags using custom domains that are more or less known: Tinder, Squarespace, TED, ...

So I guess currently their reputation is messed up.
