Well, arty5, the thing is that each member's personal email settings are at play here and once you send it, there's nothing you can do on their end to make sure they get it.   :)

Each member is responsible to log into his or her email account, check the spam folder, open mail from your forum and mark it as "not spam" or "not junk".  Until they do this, it will continue to head for the junk bin.

You may want to post a sticky announcement on your forum advising members to check their spam folders for forum-generated email.  I understand that this is happening to new registrants, but, short of allowing guests to view your board and having that announcement visible, I don't see a way around it.
