I just got a vps and I realised that all email sent to hotmail automatically goes into the spam box (until i approve an email address as being "safe").
I believe that hotmail's senderid and a spf record is the way to go
I have already submitted the senderid form saying i dont have an spf record
for the "domains to be added to the senderid program", i listed a couple of my domains.
1) do i still need an spf record?
2) in the future, will i need to tell customers to use outgoing mailservers under one of the domains i submitted (in the senderid form)?
I have a VPS and I am wondering if anyone knows any way in which to make it so that emails sent from the server are not seen as spam by hotmail and the likes.
I have a dedicated server in which i host 4 web sites using plesk one of them is mysite.com. That one is also set for ns1.mysite.com ns2.mysite.com.
(all domain names below are just example names)
Dns records for my apple.com orange.com and banana.com uses ns1.mysite.com and ns2.mysite.com my name server is also in the same machine.
In mysite2.com dns settings are as follows.
Code: 80.111.11.11 / 24PTRorange.com orange.com.NSns1.mysite.com. orange.com.NSns2.mysite.com. orange.com.A80.111.11.11 orange.com.MX (10)mail.mysite.com. orange.com.TXTv=spf1 a mx include:gmail.com,yahoo.com,hotmail.com ~all ftp.orange.com.CNAMEorange.com. mail.orange.com.A80.111.11.11 webmail.orange.com.A80.111.11.11 www.orange.com.CNAMEorange.com. 80.111.11.11 is dedicated ip for orange.com.
The PROBLEM:
The thing is whenever the server sends email it is flagged spam by yahoo, hotmail etc. I have created SPF for my orange.com but it is still marked as spam...
I have checked dns report for both mysite.com and orange.com but they seem to be OK with no warnings either.
I want to create a spf record or make somthing so the emails does not marked as spam.
One of my hosted domains have an email problem, every email account that is hosted on that site, is able to send and recieve email, but when sending to gmail or hotmail, it is delivered as SPAM.
Someone told me it is because this domain doesnt have a MX record at the DNS zone..
What is the sintax for the MX record ? I have enterd A(ddress) and CNAME records, but never MX records.. can anyone tell me how to do it so I can send mail in the way it should be.
I have problem, because all e-mails I send from my server (even using e-mail client) to hotmail.com mailboxes are moved to "junk mail" folder. I tried all settings mentioned at [url]... My domain has SPF records (mails pass spf tests), rev-dns and it isn't blacklisted anywhere. My domain name is fusker.pl. What should I do ? I contacted Hotmail, but it'll probably take ages to get answer from them This issue is serious, because 90% of ppl on my mailing list uses hotmail.com To make everything even more interesting, e-mails from my other server don't reach hotmail.com mailboxes at all (everything is configured right and there is no error msg in logs, only "message queued for delivery") - however I don't care about it right now, because there are no active websites on it.
Here's one of such e-mails with headers:
X-Message-Delivery: Vj0zLjQuMDt1cz0wO2k9MDtsPTA7YT0w X-Message-Status: n:0 X-SID-PRA: fusker (a) fusker.pl X-Message-Info: 6sSXyD95QpUKMgCpB3f+kFGcJ7U9m+RjqnnKGAX7qL5UKJmZupaOopXri+sb63FJMarxyFVF+cosfafCZDUyTg== Received: from fusker.pl ([66.84.48.234]) by bay0-mc6-f23.bay0.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.2668); ....
I just switch to a new server and I found out that hotmails is marking all my mail as spam, it goes directly to the junk mail folder, however gmail and yahoo is ok.
I have a broken reverse dns thought that my be but I'm not sure, anyone have any experience regarding this?
I have different adresses configured with several domains on the same server. All the emails send to gmail/hotmail adresses are marked spam.
Looking in the headers everything seems fine, including SPF:

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

set reverse DNS for your IP address and if possible an SPF record for your domain.
as you can see he is asking me to set the dns etc i dont no . is there anything i could do via WHM/CP/SSL"PuTTy" etc
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:

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?
One of my clients is trying to send an email to someone who has barracuda spam filter on their systems. the spam filter is rejecting the email and marking the IP address as poor.
The IP address that it is rejecting is not the address of the SMTP server but the PC address (Outlook client). is this normal to check the client pc IP address and not the SMTP server?
The response from the spam filter includes a link to check the IP address which reports the IP address status as "poor".
The problem is this IP address is a dynamic IP assigned by the clients ISP. I tried a couple of IP addresses within the same subnet and they all seem to be marked as poor.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this issue?? I have included the (masked) response from the spam filter below:

I received many email spam recently, with the sender address from my own server. Eg.
my domain = www.shashinki.com email spam that I received = shop@shashinki.com which is being sent to my own email address of shop@shashinki.com. Yes, the sender is my own email address account.
I checked using gmail and the sender is from my own server IP address and the sender's email address seems to be valid and is from my own email account.
I have changed the password of my email address, added SPF to my email system...etc. I have done all that I can think of, but I still get the same spam emails.
What can I do and what should I do? I got really tired of this and I am worried that my server is being used to send spams to others.
My server is with LayeredTech, unmanaged server, so I dont have a manager to help me.
Hope to get some insight and help from sifus here...
i have been receiving lot of spam emails with from and to address being the same email of my domain with content being "click here to see web page" or an image link of viagra shop seen. sometimes it is sent with title "delivery status failure"
i checked the mail headers and it seems that they do not originate with contact form since i used captcha to protect them.
I currently have a problem with my websites email going to spam. Most of the mail my website sends out, responses to registration, lost passwords etc...gets sent to spam. I have never used this site to send mass email or newsletters. I was thinking of getting an external hosted email solution, but wanted to know what you thought is the best solution for this and what you use to send out emails from your site.
One of my servers is being used to send spam. The spam is coming from nobody@server.mydomain.com
I've found one user who's account was sending spam emails by using what i found @
[url]
However now i don’t seem to be able to stop the issue the same way as the log file does not contain the account being used anymore.
If there anyway i can stop mail being sent from nobody@server.mydomain.com completely? or even better only allow mail to be sent from valid email accounts on the server?
I work at a small startup. We have a database of contact information that is available on a subscription basis; people signup up and can download a limited number of contacts each month.
A core part of our signup is to send an activation email to the client. The email has a link back to our site. Clicking on the link activates the account and allows the client to log in.
Sometimes -- not always, but probably 20% of the time -- the client's email server will reject our activation email as spam. We see this alot with hotmail clients, and occasionally with others.
We're able to reproduce the problem. It appears to be an issue of the mail headers rather than the email content. I think it's related to the way we have our internal email configured: our email is hosted at Network Solutions, but we send the activation emails from our server at LiquidWeb. The activation email specifies a 'from' address that includes the domain that NS hosts.
My questions are: would this configuration cause email recipients to identify our email as spam? Short of moving our email server mgmt to our LiquidWeb server, is there anything we can do to avoid this issue from causing our email to look like spam?
I just found that some spammer send email through my server. I am using sendmail.
So if they know my domains in /etc/mail/local-host-names, can they spam email through my server without knowing username and password?
Do you think postfix is a better solution? The server is used by me only. I even won't connect to the server to sendmail. I use web mail to check email in the server.
My web development company has just launched a new website in Hong Kong. It's a brand new site, so obviously hasnt even been listed on google yet.
One MAJOR problem we're facing is ALL email sent from the server is going to Spam/junk mail folders. We dont have a dedicated mail server and all mail is being sent via the web servers localhost (via a phpmailer script)
The site is member driven but members cannot join the site, because their account activation emails are going to spam/junk and theyre not finding them (we do mention for people to check their spam/junk but alot of people still dont)
So i am wondering if anyone has any tips how i can get the site listed as not spam. its a .hk domain name so i'm wondering if its only because im in australia that its going to spam for me?
either way id like to get the problem solved quickly, so if there is any verification/testing i can do to approve the site i would appreciate to find out.
