Hotmail Not Accepting My Server Emails

Jun 18, 2009

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]

Server Bouncing Emails To Hotmail, MSN And Others

Aug 6, 2007

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?

Can't Send Emails To Hotmail

Dec 14, 2007

I tried to send an email to Hotmail.com and I get error messages. However, I can send an email to another email address that forwards to hotmail and it arrives correctly.

When sending via SquirrelMail I get:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

%%%%%%%@%%%%%.com

Reasons for rejection may be related to content with spam-like characteristics or IP/domain reputation problems. If you are not an email/network admin please contact your E-mail/Internet Service Provider for help. Email/network admins, please visit [url]for email delivery information and support

I have correct TXT dns entries. Doesn't matter what email I sent to hotmail, they all get rejected. They don't even appear in the junk box

Web Hosting, Hotmail Rejecting Certain Emails

Apr 1, 2007

I run a dating site, but for some reason hotmail is rejecting certain emails.

When a user receives a message on my site, they get a notification by email to come check their message on the site. This part works, even with hotmail.

However, when a NEW user registers on the site with hotmail, they aren't
getting the confirmation email they would normally get, and as a result they can't join the site. Other email providers get this confirmation email, but not hotmail.

Sending Emails From VPS To Hotmail And Gmail Email Accounts

Sep 17, 2007

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.

Registrars Not Accepting DNS Entries

May 16, 2007

I have set up a pair of name servers, the first one is accepted by the registrars and the second one is not. They have been configured identically as far as I can tell.

It appears that some test is run by the registrars to see if the name server can be used.

Is there any way I can find what test it is and get a way to run it to see what the problem is?

Are there scripts or sites where I can run whatever type of test it is and know what the problem is?

US Based Datacenter Accepting PayPal?

May 25, 2009

I am looking for hosting with following parameters:

- US-based (preferably datacenter owner, not sub-leaser)
- Accepts PayPal
- Offers KVM over IP or some kind of console-BIOS-level access (Need it for linux kernel rebuilds, OS [re]installation etc.)

The only one I found that accepts PayPal is Sharktech, but it don't offer KVM over IP .

Is there a good directory that lists datacenters with their business parameters? I found this site datacentermap-dot-com but it just lists datacenters on map and is not very useful for searching.

Hotmail Refusing All Mail From Our Server...

Jul 9, 2007

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. Reasons for rejection may be related to content such as obscene language, graphics, or spam-like characteristics (or) other reputation problems. For sender troubleshooting information, please go to http://postmaster.msn.com.

if you are an end-user please contact your E-mail/Internet Service Provider for assistance.

Any UK Or European Host Accepting VPN (Virtual Private Network)?

May 28, 2007

I'm looking for a host located in UK that can accept/support vpn/tunnel connections to the VPS - creation and access to vps' /dev/net/tun (TAP/TUN device) for use with tunneling services like vtun.

I am currently a customer of webhosting.uk.com, they look very good host but unfortunately they dont accept or support vpn on their VPS plans.

The bigger the list of hosts supporting vpn, the best.

Maybe hosts of other european countries too, if connection speed is acceptable.
