Gmail maintains their own domain reputation, so if you're seeing mail go to spam then it's very possible it's domain reputation. Gmail also does a lot of recipient specific delivery, so it could be the recipient-specific filters. The real question is what is different between the mail going to the inbox and the mail going to the bulk folder? If there is a difference, then that's where you focus. If there's not then you want to look at the client's email address collection and sending. It could be a mistake on Gmail's end, it wouldn't be the first time. But often the filters are picking up on something (spamtraps, or sending mail to abandoned accounts or complaints) that the sender is doing. laura -- Laura Atkins Word to the Wise "The Deliverability Experts!"
