Hi
I am trying to setup my send mail to increase delivery to Inboxes of Hotmail/Yahoo/Gmail I did setup SPF and Domain keys successfully however emails that I send using the typical mail command still get sent to the junk box. I did check out my headers and I found the following two lines
Received: from mydomain.com (mydomain.com [127.0.0.1] (may be forged))
Received: (from me@localhost)

I would really prefer it if I could use the real IP "sendmail is listening on all IPs"
instead of 127.0.0.1 and me@mydomain instead me@localhost.

Any hints

Hi ALInux

if i understand you correct you are trying to send mails from your local mailserver (postfix,sendmail,etc) at home or office to send mails to hotmail, gmail etc...


in order to not get blocked or to get on the spam lists... xbl-sbl etc

you will need:

1.correct dns entries
A record and PTR record that are pointing back to you...
if i remember right maybe also SPF entry...


2. if you would like to receive mails you will need MX records pointing to your mailserver...


in short... your mails are going to the junk folder because you do not have correct DNS entries and maybe you are using a dynamic ip range...


good luck...

oh and about the other thing...
you will need to configure masquerade... on your mail server...
so if you send a mail from root@localhost it will masquerade it to
root@your_domain.com
