Hotmail Blocked My Server
Aug 25, 2007
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:

How do I get off the blacklist? This is affecting all my forum users using Hotmail.

One of my VPS clients has had all of the ip addresses on his server blocked/blacklisted on the hotmail service, he cannot send email to or recieve email from anyone with a hotmail email address, does anyone have any ideas on a solution, other than changing all the ip's on his vps?

I have an issue with 4 servers, one at theplanet.com and 3 at ayksolutions.com
Traceroute from any ayk servers to the planet dies on the last router on the planet site,
traceroute from the planet to any ayk servers dies on the last router on the ayk site.
using a different IP for the planet server works.
Now, how can I figure out which router blocks this connection?
Everything was perfect till yesterday. I can ssh on all servers.
Technical staf from both ISPs has no idea and point to eachother. Is it other tool to see where I'm blocked.

I am often blocked by my own server.
So I can access my site through anonymouser.com but I cannot access my site directly. Changing my IP (using ASDL) will solve the problem.
A techie told me that it happened because of failed login attempt.
However, I had not made any failed login attempt?
Then it happened again today.
Why is this happening?
Though I didn't make eronous login attempt, I did try to check whether my sites are on or not a lot.

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]

Testing out Clientexec, and every time a welcome email is supposed to be sent, it's not.
So i set up a SPF record for the domain, and it started sending that email. However, when checking the hotmail it's tagged as "phishing scam".

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):
xxxxxxxxxxxx@hotmail.com
SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<denver@higherpurposes.com> SIZE=1922:
host mx2.hotmail.com [65.54.245.40]: 550 Your e-mail was rejected for policy reasons on this gateway.

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?

All messages sent by my mail queue in cPanel are being blocked by Hotmail and the British ISP Blueyonder.
It only affects these two mail-companies.
Is there any way to clear the blocks set by them as I just got a new server and wouldn't rly nice to change IPs.

Yes, cannot access my server with my PC. Tried everything but no avail. I confirmed that the server is up and running, everyone else can access it.
Here is what has been done so far:Cannot access to server after my FTP program automaticly tries to connect few times with wrong password. Fine, my IP will be flushed in 10~20 minutes tops. But no, after an hour still cannot access.
Submitted a ticket to the provider. They have flushed the Iptables, stopped the firewall, and added my IP address to allowed hosts file.
I have stopped the firewall in my PC. Flushed the DNS cache and restarted the windows.
Can use internet without a problem. Can access any website w/o problem except my own server.
Can anyone think of anything causing this?

I got the server hosting at liquidweb.
I access my website and ssh normally until 2 days ago. I couldn't go to my website and ssh anymore. All my clients can go to the website, sftp, ssh normally. I did a VPN to my company office and I can access to my website and ssh from my office.
Obviously, my IP address at home was blocked.
Do you think that was from Liquidweb firewall or my server cpanel firewall or something like that?

We have a server with a fine company, BocaCom. They are who the IP addresses are we use ultimately registered to. It seems we are being blacklisted by secureserver (isn't that Godaddy?) because the IP does not register to us for our outgoing email. It registers to BocaCom.
Is anyone else having this problem, and how to we get around it? We've contacted BocaCom and are waiting for their reply. Is this an IP issue or am I reading the secureserver reply wrong?
----------------
Dear Sir/Madam,
While there is indeed an rDNS record created for 72.35.xx.xx, it does not point back to the original A record. This will need to be updated before we can look further into unblocking the IP.

While I am used to reselling and domain registration stuff, I am totally new to DNS stuff..I tried many searches and readings without hope.
that's why I need your help.
We have a problem that makes both incoming and outgoing emails from our website's email server not going or received, without any failure message or error message on both sides: the sender and receiver.
We talked to our webhosting company- they do not own, but host on a dedicated provided by Iweb in Canada - and they told us a quick solution for this:
To buy a private IP address, therefore our websites with them will not get blocked as spammy IP, setting us away from the dozens of sites they have on the same server IP (as domaintools reverse IP reported: xx other sites hosted on this server).
The company I work for agreed on this solution immediately as we are loosing customers for this problem.
They charged us 8$ a month for this "private ip".
We had the same problem for another day after their solution, when I checked domaintools, I found our websites are still on the same IP of the company. I called them, and the Admin there told me: it's a hidden CNAME setting that is not shown to public because it's "private" and the delay happenned because we had to contact Hotmail staff and wait for their reply to include it in their safe list, but others as Gmail and Yahoo do not require contacting them and will go through automatically."
My question is:
- What is Private IP/ Private DNS?
- Why and how it is used to prevent false blocking/bouncing?
- Does that mean they had to sell it to every domain, while their IP is not on blacklists (I checked it).
- Is Private IP just an internal setting or it has to be bought from a large ISP
like regular/public IPs? and if just some settings, is this price fair? we pay 120$ annually for hosting one site with them.
- They told us they put our other two sites on theis same new private IP. How can this be possible?
- I cannot understand: Hotmail can prevent our emails from reaching inboxes, but can it also prevent its users emails from reaching us?? Is this issue a Private-IP related??
- What do you think the real problem is, and what advice(s) should I follow to have our emails going and coming smoothly in the future?
Note: We don't send unsolicited emails ever. We only have a 1500-member mailinglist that we send a newsletter to, once every few months.
Our daily email traffic is about 10 to 20 messages in and out.

i'm thinking about building a separate mail server away from my cpanel/whm machine. that mail server will be located on a different IP address with "clean" record so that business email won't get deleted my strict rules of hotmail.
can you please tell me, generally, about this "buidling separate mail server", i.e. what MTA, software, web-mail software, will it be worth? ,etc. Pointing me in the right direction will allow me to complete the project in the shortest time.
