Hi,
There used to be a time that in order to setup a mail server, all you had to
do is the mail server itself, MX records, PTR and you're done.
These days you'll need to also have SPF and DKIM.
I did all the things for a mail server for my business, tested few emails to
gmail, walla and other places, and I got it correctly without going to spam.
Yahoo and Hotmail is another story: Yahoo moves the mail I send to SPAM
while in Hotmail the email simply doesn't show up anywhere.
I looked at the logs (I'm using postfix) and I don't see any error message
at all. Here's an example:
Feb 28 02:02:03 mail postfix/smtp[5758]: 256081900B2: to=<heunique at yahoo.com>,
relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=1.6, delays=0.04/0.01/0.01/1.6,
dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok, id=08689-09, from
MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as B79C11900C2)
Feb 28 02:02:03 mail postfix/smtpd[5764]: disconnect from mail.hetzbiz.info
[127.0.0.1]
Feb 28 02:02:03 mail postfix/qmgr[12019]: 256081900B2: removed
Feb 28 02:02:03 mail postfix/qmgr[12019]: B79C11900C2: from=<
hetz at hetzbiz.info>, size=1508, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Feb 28 02:02:05 mail postfix/smtp[5765]: B79C11900C2: to=<heunique at yahoo.com>,
relay=g.mx.mail.yahoo.com[98.137.54.238]:25, delay=2.2,
delays=0.03/0.01/0.75/1.4, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 ok dirdel)
Same for hotmail, Code 250 (which means it send OK).
I tried to contact Hotmail support, only to find some that I need to
register to their Sender ID (did it, successfully) and the SPAM protection
program (which I failed since I don't have any "opt out" - go tell them that
all the customers in this business are paying, and if someone leaves, he
won't get any service/emails, I already replied that to them).
Any tips what can be done about these 2? (hotmail and yahoo)
Thanks,
Hetz
