When I try to use the ITV version of the BBC iPlayer (it seems to be
called itvX), they say they're sending a verification email to the email address I've used to sign up with. The emails don't arrive (and no, I
don't _have_ a spam bin).

I have an account that was setup when the called it "itvHUB" instead of >"itvX", it just let me login with the old account, before it would let
me watch anything it wanted me to verify my email address (maybe
because it's not been used for years?)
Their email arrived OK for me to click and verify, redirection through >mythicbeasts and delivery to plusnet mailbox.
Looking at the headers, they seem to handle all the SPF, DKIM, SMTPS
stuff properly, the body is slightly mangled when viewed without HTML,
but it works.

I've tried using at least three emails - the latest done in an incognito window, so no cookies or whatever should be involved.

Is it an e-mail or is it an HTML webpagege sent by e-mail? If it is a >webpage it could contain characters that trigger a spam warning some way
back in the chain, so it never gets near your computer.
Perhaps the e-mails are going through a gmail server somewhere. Gmail
have been rejecting e-mails that don't contain some extra security
feature, which is supposed to be optional. I have been having lots of >trouble trying to send e-mails to gmail customers and getting them
returned. Nobody seems to know how to switch off this 'feature'.
I have a similar arrangement - redirection through
Krystal to PlusNet. Maybe Krystal do something slightly different
I have had other such emails containing such things not arrive.Maybe there's some spam filtering you can turn off at krystal?
(Though not all, i. e. some _have_ come through.) HTML mangling I'm
used to, but that doesn't help if they don't arrive at all.
Andy Burns says he receives them, though that may not prove anything as
he receives emails via a different route to me.

It should pass the DKIM/SPF tests that any reasonable provider will
apply nowadays (it comes from a server designated by itv.com and is
digitally signed by that server).

The message I received doesn't look too spam-like, though it does begin
with a whole bunch of =E2=80=8C which are UTF-8 zero width non-joiner >characters, which could conceivably trigger some sort of "excessive
unicode" rule?

Do your mails get directed by Krystal to your Plusnet mailbox,or do you
have a Krystal mailbox?
