everything is ok , i contacted Hotmail to be part of SenderId program ,and told me 2 days and sending will be ok , i waited for 10 days , till now every new member can't recive ctivation email , what shall i do ??????
My server not open relays ... Not in blacklist ....
i have problem in my server from 2 weeks ago server stop sending mail to yahoo and hotmail but to gmail send good without any problem i make SPF and add it for all domains after that mail worked Good in 1 day after that the problem come again
I'm testing out sending news subscription letters to yahoo and hotmail accounts, they ended up in their Junk and Spam folder.
When I check the Full Message Headers in Yahoo. I saw that the" Return-Path: <nobody@host.mydomain.com>" and "Received: from nobody by host.mydomain.com with local"
Is it could be the "nobody" that mails are end up in Spam and Junk?
I'm trying to send mails to yahoo and hotmail from my vps and the result was the mail ended up in Spam folder in yahoo and didn't receive any mails in hotmail. When I check the Full MEssage Header in yahoo, the sender was "Sender: Nobody <nobody@host.mydomain.com>" Do I have to set to a name or something ?
My rDNS and SPF was set up correctly, I think. domainkeys=neutral (no sig)
I have contacted hotmail asking why automated emails such as registration verification are being blocked and they said that my server's IP was on a blacklist for spam. I never spam and I do not think a bot has phished using my server's IP. Anyway, if I were to switch server IPs would that solve the problem?
A better title might be "hotmail or yahoo won't accept the emails from sendmail."
I have sendmail version: 8.13.4
I have the only modification I can remember doing is: MASQUERADE_AS(`ipalaces.org')dnl
I can send emails perfectly to gmail accounts. Here is a sucessfull output of an email send to gmail:

This is a test of the body.
I originally thought the reason hotmail or yahoo didn't receive my emails was because I had no reverse DNS for the IP I was sending the emails out with. Therefore I had my VPS provider create one for my IP. It now reflects ipalaces.org with the IP I use to send out emails (64.74.153.24)
Even after the reverse DNS in place, hotmail nor yahoo could recieve my emails. I am now pretty much stump as to why. I have googled and scanned various other solutions and I havent found anything.
Here is a verbose output of using sendmail to an hotmail address of mine:

The main thing that strikes out to me is that hotmail says "Queued mail for delivery" whereas Gmail normally says "OKAY". It seems as hotmail gets the email, and then decides it's no good. I don't know if my IP is blacklisted or I have to change something in my configuration from 127.0.0.1 to my IP, or what I have to do.
Two days ago, Yahoo and hotmail users were receiving emails in the Junk folder. I thought this was due to the Reverse DNS settings not being set. So, I contacted Rus from cheapVPS and asked him to enable the Reverse DNS setting after I entered it in the Hyper VM panel, and he kindly did it.
Unfortunately, since the Reverse DNS setting was entered, Yahoo and Hotmail users stopped receiving mails from my site. Gmail users never faced any problem. the logs (from maillog) are as follows:

I have a dedicate server and got a problem with receiving and sending email with Yahoo email accounts. I checked with gmail and other one and it works fine except Yahoo. It does not delivery when I sent out to Yahoo accounts. However, I can get email from Yahoo when they send back to me but a little bit delay.
I have problems sending emails from my VPS to Hotmail and Gmail email accounts. This is a new VPS with some new websites so they are not blacklisted for spam or anything like that.
After users register at my website they receive a welcome email, but with Hotmail/Gmail accounts they end up by default in the spam/junkfolder.
I also have a refer-a-friend and a forgot password form -> with gmail users they both end up in the spamfolder, with hotmail users they both do not show up at all!
I read somewhere that editing the DNS zone could solve this problem with adding a SPF record (see also [url]).
I have added the most common SPF record "v=spf1 a ~all" as TXT record type but after a few days nothing has changed.
so all email send from the VPS to Hotmail/Gmail email accounts will directly be send into the inbox.
I Have a server and i have access to the root etc... so i notice a few days ago that my server dose not send any email to hotmail etc.. so i have posted a thread and i get answer
Quote:
set reverse DNS for your IP address and if possible an SPF record for your domain.
i have no idea where to set my dns this is what i do not undestand..
so i ask how And the answer was
Quote:
Contact your provider and ask him to set a reverse DNS entry for your IPs. Only he can do it, you can't do it yourself.
And the answer was to contact the Server Provider
Quote:
No. reverse dns is done as a provider level. It has to be done within there servers that handles the requests for RDNS. Sometimes depending on your provider, they allow this in the billing center. Other times you flat out need to make a request.
And Here is anther answer telling me i still need to contact the provider..
So i did i submit a ticket and wait 5-6 day for them to respond to my ticket and this is what my Server provider have reply to me...

A: Hi, Creating DNS record for our client is beyond the scope of our support. You can edit your dns entry for a domain to add the txt dns record and insert in the text field the spf header as describe in your link. This is a good link to use to learn how to create SPF record. You should have a reverse dns lookup for your mail server. This mean that your IP will return the domain of your mail server. This is important to not being tag a spam by many anti-spam solution. Thank you,
so know i have no idea what to do .. all iam asking sinise iam root and i have full server access where do i need to make change to get the send email work?
When my forum sends out emails to Hotmail users, I always get this message back:
Quote:
SMTP error from remote server after MAIL command:
host mx3.hotmail.com: 550 Your e-mail was rejected for policy reasons on this gateway. Reasons for rejection may be related to content with spam-like characteristics or IP/domain reputation problems. If you are not an e-mail/network admin please contact your E-mail/Internet Service Provider for help. For e-mail delivery information, please go to [url]
How do I get off the blacklist? This is affecting all my forum users using Hotmail.
I have 2 cPanel servers with normal decent setups, and until today, HOTMAIL/LIVE is not accepting my e-mails.
There is no problem with GMAIL & YAHOO, btw.
When I mentioned not accepting my e-mails means it will always appear inside the Junk box instead of Inbox (for every domains in both servers)
I've tried to contact Microsoft support many times but they keep repeating the same thing. I've tried everything including make sure that my IP reputation is clean, and having domain keys.
I need some advise from you guys out there that has this issue before and start from sketch, what do I need to do to identify what Microsoft servers actually want from me?
Here's their 'robotic' respond.
1) Make sure that you have SPF/SIDF records in place. You can go to [url] for more information on this.
2) Clean up your lists. Remove those who do not want to receive the emails. Make the unsubscribe process more visible. Hotmail also has a sender complaint feedback loop program called the Junk Email Reporting Program (JMRP). Enrollment in this free program will benefit you as a sender as it will keep your email lists updated and populated with interested Windows Live Hotmail Customers. This program will help you to remove those Windows Live Hotmail Customers who do not want to receive emails from your company. If you are interested in joining this program, please visit [url _options_form_byemail&ct=eformts
3) Ensure that there is not anything technically wrong with your MTA. Are your DNS records updated, are you transmitting data upon making the SMTP connection, and is the problem isolated to any specific machines? Do your SMTP logs show any failures?
4) Segment your mailing infrastructure by IP. Marketing email, transactional corporate email, "forward to a friend" email and signup emails should be sent from different IP's. This will help to identify what types of messages are being flagged by Hotmail customers.
5) Strengthen the sign up process. Confirm that you are using a double-opt-in sign up process. This will not help in removing existing Hotmail customers from your email lists, but it will confirm the authenticity of those who sign-up for your email campaigns and newsletters.
6) If you have any feedback loops setup with other ISPs, you should look for trends to try to determine possible causes - a new data source? New advertisement? Maybe folks signing up do not recognize the mail?
7) Clearly mark your emails so that Hotmail customers are able to identify quickly and easily that they requested emails from your service.
8) Do some analysis on the data regarding complaints - look at Hotmail customers who have never clicked, opened, responded or bounced in any way. These poor performers could contain many bad addresses.
9) Evaluate the frequency of your mailings. Are you making your mailings less relevant and welcome by sending too many emails?
10) Enroll in the Sender Score program. This is the only white list that Hotmail uses. It is owned and operated by Return Path. You can find information about this program at [url
11) Please visit [url] to verify that your IP is not being listed on any third party block lists.
12) We also recommend that you take advantage of the following email delivery consulting companies who participate in the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group [url] ), and the Authentication and Online Trust Alliance [url]
I cannot send emails to name@hotmail.com from any of sites hosted on my server. No mass emails. no unusual activities. Even though they blocked it. I filled out their forms but they didn't remove the block.
I'm in the process of trying to contact Hotmail. I thought it was an SPF issue but that did not fix it. I then thought rDNS, but on an old server the rDNS also pointed to the DC and not to the server hostname and it worked fine. I'm going ahead to fix the rDNS, but I'm not sure that it will fix this.
Anyway, does anyone know the solution here by chance?
Here's the error message (a 550):

On the main mail server I run from my site I have being receiving a lot of issues when trying to send mail to hotmail. I do not receive any error messages, the mail is just never received it is filtered out(it does not even show up in the spam filter). I am not a spammer and have never been. My IP and domain check out fine when I put them through spam databases. So is there some trick to getting your mail accepted?
I have one of our servers that is bouncing all sent emails to hotmail, MSN and some others. The emails often come back saying they are bounced as SPAM.
There were SPAM issues on this particular server at one point, but have since been corrected one we tightened it up.
Now, how can I fix this? Can I change the servers hostname? Are they rejecting by hostname, or by IP?
And do I need to just contact each provider and try to get off their blacklist?
Unfortunately yahoo blocked our server ip, so our customer cant send any email to yahoo! How can fix this issue? Do you have any email or ticket system in yahoo for contant about this issue?
iam always having problem with Email know i have order a new server i try to use some script like phpbb.vb.ipb and some other script that have options to send email when people register etc...

but if i send email from my hotmail email to my domian name email i get it
so i make some research on the net i find something maybe this could be the problem but as i am newbie to the server i have no idea how i can fix this problem

i was trying to create a MySQL database for my site. My site is hosted on a yahoo server. From the control panel, when i click on the Mysql datbase link, i get a page that says Mysql database is active. Then as per the online help provided by yahoo, i created a database admin user name and password. Then i installed phpmyadmin in a newly created folder. Then i accessed the homepage of phpmyadmin and entered my login credentials i,e my database admin username and password. The next page that appears is supposed to let me create a database and access it. But all i get is an empty page with my domain name in the left hand side top corner and the link to the yahoo control panel on the right. I installed phpmyadmin couple of times to check if it was an installation problem, but it was of no use. I tried accesing it from my friends pc, but with no luck. I contacted yahoo support via email couple of days back, but still i haven received any reply from them. Please help me out to fix this problem. Is there anything i missed out?
