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 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.
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.
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

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?

Nowadays it's everyone's headache for sending mails to hotmail and yahoo i guess. I am having the same problem.
I add the domainkey to domains, but when i send mail to yahoo it drops to spam.
I didn't tried it with hotmail, but reason for dropping spam at yahoo is probably because of no spf record.
I am having a bit trouble with setting spf. I read some documents and my mind is messed up, i can't figure out what to do.
My server's ip address is : xx.xx.xx.xx
My server's hostname is : server.x.com
and i have domains like , y.com, z.com, f.com bla bla that wants to send mail to hotmail.
Those sites are using different ips, but each ip is using more than 1 site,
I read that i need to setup reverse dns, but one article says i should do it for my hostname, other one says for mail server : mail.x.com.
So first question how should i setup reverse dns?
Second question, it says i need to add spf record for my domain, does it mean my hostname, or the domain i want to send mail ?
v=spf1 a mx ptr ~all
and than i should fill form at https://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?p...rid&ct=eformts
and than wait.
So i will be glad if someone can answer my questions and tell me if there is any missing parts.
i have a problem that the sites on my vps cant send mail to Hotmail but it sending mail to gmail easly..
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a vps with a site has phpbb2.
Before one month I migrated to another vps host.
In the old vps, the sending notfications such as reply new topic ( watch ), e-mail activations to new members notifications of the private messages were working very fine and each memeber which has valid e-mail will receiev these notifications from my forum.
The old vps using sendmail.
But the new one using qmail and it is will configured and the e-mail notifications are recieved which means that it is working except the ones who use hotmail accounts begin not recieve anything, the others e-mails are recieved well.
The files are the same, excpet the old uses sendmail, the new vps uses qmail.
After many days of searching how to solve this I decided to contact the support team.
They replied to me that they should do to overcome hotmail receive email problem, reverse PTR record needs to be added and to add SPF records under my domain's DNS zone.
They did and they told me to wait 24 hours, I waited for 4 days and it did not work.
I went back to them and again they look closely to my qmail configurations and it is fine and working and also they made an hotmail account to test and send e-mail form my mail server and it had been accepted which means that my domain and my new IP is not blocked by hotmail.
So their is nothing wrong excpet that email notifications from my phpbb it still won't go to members who have hotmail.
Very strange if the hotmail hates php mail scripts like phpbb why before in the old vps was like, and now suddenly hates.
I have a problem with hotmail that outgoing message not reached by hotmail only . all other mail is ok and spf recoed is pass . DomainKey-Status: good (test mode)
the server with softlayer and i take new server at softlayer and still problem
i take new server from theplanet and i see the same problem!
all microsoft hotmail support responde is same :
We have identified that messages from your IP xx.xx.xx.xx are being filtered based on the recommendations of the SmartScreen filter. SmartScreen is the spam filtering technology developed and operated by Microsoft. SmartScreen is built around the technology of machine learning. SmartScreen's filters are trained to recognize what is spam and what isn't spam. In short, we filter incoming emails that look like spam. I am not able to go into any specific details about what these filters specifically entail, as this would render them useless.

when i send mails from my server to a hotmail account they are automatically placed on Junk folder.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI started mail server (DNS + reverse zones + SPF record) and it works when I send emails except sending to Hotmail.
I can send email with attachment to my hotmail address but If I leave email without attachment, mail won't be delivered in my hotmail mailbox
Server logs don't tell me anything (I can see regular lines that mail has been sent and I don't receive any info about bouncing from Hotmail)
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:

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)
Im using php mail() to send out the mails.
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?

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.
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?
