SPF (Email Marked As Spam)

Email Sent Being Marked As Spam

May 22, 2009

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:

Email From Server Is Marked As Spam

Feb 27, 2007

I just installed the latest version of PHPList (Email manager program) on our client's dedicated server. The dedicated server is using Linux with Apache and PHP version 4.4.4.

When I try to subscribe to the newsletter I am suppose to receive a confirmation email.

Unfortunately my company's email host blocks this email thinking it's spam and I so I never receive the confirmation email. I then installed the exact same version of PHPList on a shared server with Linux, Apache, and PHP 4.4.4. Using this setup I received the confirmation email.

So it seems like the server is the problem and not the software. The IP address of the dedicated server is not blacklisted. Actually the IP address just came into existence in January 2007.

It really makes no sense to me why emails coming from the dedicated server are marked spam, but emails coming from the shared server are fine. Both servers are hosted by Hostgator.

I am clueless as to what action to take next. Are there any server settings that could fix this problem? Any ideas is greatly appreciated.

Gmail Marked Email As Spam

my perfectly legitimate emails are being marked as spam. I have no clue why. I run postfix, all hostnames are supposedly configured correctly.

Here's the headers

SPF Email Marked As Spam By Hotmail, Gmail

Apr 16, 2008

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.

E-mails Are Getting Marked As Spam

Jul 24, 2009

One of my e-mail addresses - steve@acme.ie - is regularly marked as spam. My mail server is not blacklisted. My e-mails are always plaintext, and only sometimes have URLs in them.

Looking at my mail server health everything looks ok except for what I assume are reverse DNS entries for my domain. So I'm guessing this is the problem.

So...

1. Do I need to ask my hosting company (I have a dedicated server with the planet) to set up reverse DNS entries for all my domains, or can I do this manually? Note I use my own DNS server, I do not use the hosting company's DNS server.

2. Will it be a problem that all my domains (dublinjobs.ie, acme.ie, etc.) use the same IP?

PHP (Mail) Marked As Spam Yahoo/Msn

Feb 23, 2008

i have a issue on my WHM/Cpanel Linux Server. I have hosted few vbulletin and IPB forums. Problem is that, when someone REGISTERS the CONFIRMATION email is sent to JUNK/SPAM in Hotmail and Yahoo email boxes.

I have noted that The Confirmation emails sent from many other servers are NOT MARKED as spam by Yahoo and Hotmail email accounts.
But the mails sent from My servers are marked as SPAM by default.

I have pasted the headers below:

Here are headers

Mails sent from this server works fine.
Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of webmaster@vbulletin.org designates 209.62.16.134 as permitted sender) client-ip=209.62.16.134;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=pass (google.com: domain of webmaster@vbulletin.org designates 209.62.16.134 as permitted sender) smtp.mail=webmaster@vbulletin.org

Mails sent from this server are sent to SPAM folder by default:

Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 66.90.101.249 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of zahidon_4u@yahoo.com) client-ip=66.90.101.249;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=neutral (google.com: 66.90.101.249 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of zahidon_4u@yahoo.com) smtp.mail=zahidon_4u@yahoo.com

One thing i am sure is there is something that needs to be fixed in WHM. Some option but i am not sure of that.

My Server Marked As Abuse: Spam

Feb 7, 2007

I have a client on my server from ThePlanet. That client sends a newsletter once a week to about 50,000 recipients with a program that i built. The list was purchased from a company that sells targeted directory listings.

Each email has a very clear opt out link, and one click takes them off the list. There is also a direct link to the contact form, as well as the information of the company sending the mass emails (me). This should satisfy all regulatory requirements to comply with existing laws.

Now, these emails have been sent once a week for about a month now. Today, ThePlanet issued a support ticket entitled "Abuse: Spam Source". It seems that there was a problem from aol, and one of the emails was redacted.

Reading through ThePlanet terms of service, it seems that they only allow closed system mass mailings. So now I am faced with a problem, because I have a client who expects to send out emails next week with a system i built, and I have a hosting provider that is demanding some sort of "proof" that these emails are solicited.

For the record, this newsletter isn't junk spam like selling viagra or pumping a stock. It is a free weekly summary of significant new york appellate cases, and it has been very well received by the attorneys on the mailing list. There have been ridiculously few opt outs ( < 2%), and there have been literally *hundreds* of emails coming back to show their gratitude for the free service. Not even one comment has been negative.

So what can I do now? A significant number of attorneys on this list are expecting the newsletter, but it cant be sent due to this problem.

The best that I could come up with so far is to send an "Opt in" mass email, where users must click the link to opt in, and everyone else would be removed from the mass email. I could then use the unique keys used for opt ins as "proof" for ThePlanet that the emails are solicited.

Email Spam From My Own Server

Dec 19, 2008

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 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.

Email - Spam Being Sent From Nobody@'myserver

Mar 4, 2008

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?

Email Flagged As Spam

Jan 24, 2007

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?

Spam Email Through My Server

Aug 12, 2007

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.

All Email From My Site Going To Spam/junk

Jul 5, 2009

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.

Hotmail - Email Listed As SPAM

Jul 30, 2008

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)?

Best Way Send A Few Thousand Email Per Day- Not SPAM.

Oct 22, 2008

way to send up to a few thousand emails per day.

These emails are simply replies to people contacting me first then I reply with ONE message from an autoresponder. No further contact is made unless they write me back again.

This is not really something that would work with aweber, getresponse, or a similar service.

And most email service providers seem to have a limit of 250/messages a day.

I'm guessing I will need a dedicated server for this?

Anything else I need on the dedicated server? I only have a few mailbox accounts I use that I access via outlook.

Service To Check If An Email Is SPAM

Jun 25, 2008

We have a script that will be sending out emails from our server. A few already have hit the Outlook SPAM folder. The email that's sent is a validation check, where the user has to click a link to verify an account.

Is there some service out there where you can send it your email and it will tell you if and then why it will be caught by leading spam filters?
