Hi,


I setup my sendmail for multi -domain email server. I am running it with
my own DNS Server....
Reguarly, I am going to Junk, or Spam folder from ... hotmail, etc....

I am deseperate to find a solution.... :-(
I went on website like : intodns.com and the report of my DNS is OK...

However, I detect that my Reverse DNS seems to be weird :
The reverse DNS seems to be the one of my internet provider... Is that
normal ? Is that OK ?

From IntoDNS.com

Your reverse (PTR) record:
65.197.33.81.in-addr.arpa -> lns-bzn-50f-81-33-197-65.adsl.proxad.net
You have reverse (PTR) records for all your IPs, that is a good thing.


Proxad.net is linked to my Internet provider.....
- Could it be the problem ?
- Is that the reason, why I am going sometimes to SPAM folders ?

- How Internet providers do, to go straight to the Inbox ???

Thanks

There can be many reasons, like rDNS not matching, the ip you have is a
dynamic one, your mail header isn't "good enough", ...

Thats default, sadly ISP will seldom change the rDNS.


One solution you can try, is to use your ISPs mail server as SMART_HOST, then
all your outgoing mail will be sent via the ISPs mail server, but this will of
course not fix much more than problems than making a worka around dynamic-ip
blocks/filtering.

Well, I have a fix ip address....

Do you think that the best would be to use my ISP email server ? that's sade

This doesn't change, but Proxad.net.... this is not me :-(

You can always test and see, send a mail to your hotmail account,
then do the following add on to sendmail config

define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.isp.com')

just remember to use the correct smtp that your isp provides, generate the new
cf from the mc and restart sendmail and send your mail once more.

If the second mail ends up in the junk-folder, then there is something else
that causes the problem.

I just made the test, that sounds to work !! :-)
I will make other tests, but that's encouraging..

Thank you very much !!!

Does it mean that my ISP provider is "blocking " somehow ?

Does it also mean that they have a copy of my emails on their servers ?
or can they copy it ?

Thanks again !!!
