Hello everyone; I have a "big" problem. Mails from my server are marked as SPAM by Yahoo and Gmail; Hotmail says it's accepted but never delivered. I have SPF and DomainKeys working; I had tryed the postmasters of the three providers but nothing. The IP address is clean; and the mails marked are just test mails (eg: Subject: Test number one; plus a few words as body). Yahoo, the only one who replyed something interesting (Hotmail saied "check the Internet Explorer Options", and Gmail sayed "it's spam but I can't telly why)... sended me an email saying: "The sender seems to have forged your email address in the "reply-to" and/or the "from" field of the message they sent out. Please know that we are currently aware of this type of spam and are investigating it." I don't know why, this is an example of the mails sended and marked as Spam; and everything seems Fine for my Eye;; anyone can see something more? Thanks... ########## begin sended mail ########## Delivered-To: [email protected] Received: by 10.142.192.1 with SMTP id p1cs98342wff; Thu, 1 Nov 2007 18:24:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.141.79.12 with SMTP id g12mr618936rvl.1193966669497; Thu, 01 Nov 2007 18:24:29 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: <[email protected]> Received: from excelsior.stonetree.com.uy (excelsior.stonetree.com.uy [71.6.135.103]) by mx.google.com with ESMTP id b39si4293699rvf.2007.11.01.18.24.27; Thu, 01 Nov 2007 18:24:29 -0700 (PDT) Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of [email protected] designates 71.6.135.103 as permitted sender) client-ip=71.6.135.103; DomainKey-Status: good Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=pass (google.com: domain of [email protected] designates 71.6.135.103 as permitted sender) [email protected]; domainkeys=pass [email protected] Received: from excelsior.stonetree.com.uy (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1]) by excelsior.stonetree.com.uy (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9F2D78004 for <[email protected]>; Thu, 1 Nov 2007 23:24:05 -0200 (UYST) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; h=Received:Message-IDate:From:User-Agent:MIME-Version:To:Subject:Content-Type:Content-Transfer-Encoding; b=ozvD8mp5E/Z6OcGL+TBrp3PiqA4ruTjrBS/+YN5x5AEHmCqZVoS7clPAW/EEqE0wf/qaMjbP/qV1hQ0iAaMkur25JgSL1WYpACNdII9eCUAwCAva/Ws7lwg548q/zDfi8UDHApC/qs95nhvldjCwt2HKNeKd8mAloW1X5FQfJoQ=; c=nofws; d=stonetree.com.uy; q=dns; s=dk Received: from [192.168.0.150] (r190-64-159-48.dialup.adsl.anteldata.net.uy [190.64.159.48]) (Authenticated sender: [email protected]) by excelsior.stonetree.com.uy (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4D8137FCC for <[email protected]>; Thu, 1 Nov 2007 23:23:57 -0200 (UYST) Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 01 Nov 2007 23:23:47 -0200 From: Stonetree Technologies <[email protected]> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 (X11/20071022) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: [email protected] Subject: Prueba dos Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit cambio mydomain ########## end sended mail ##########
Hm, looks ok. Have you checked if your server got blacklisted? http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx If not, I'd contact Google and Yahoo.
All the IPs of the server are Clean (not blacklisted) and they are all in the SPF. Gmail says DomainKeys Passed; and SPF Passed. I tryed to contact all providers; and the only one who replyed was Yahoo; saying the above message (forged from or reply-to)... any idea if this is a Postfix problem with authentication? Thanks.
Does this happen as well when you send that mail from mail.stonetree.com.uy (the mail shown here seems to have been sent form a different server)?
I had made a few adjustemns, sent a mail to Yahoo, it was delivered to SPAM folder... the headers are the folowing: ########## BEGIN HEADER ########## From Stonetree Technologies Sun Nov 4 12:46:29 2007 Return-Path: <[email protected]> Authentication-Results: mta323.mail.re4.yahoo.com from=stonetree.com.uy; domainkeys=pass (ok) Received: from 66.240.194.76 (EHLO mx.excelsior.stonetree.com.uy) (66.240.194.76) by mta323.mail.re4.yahoo.com with SMTP; Sun, 04 Nov 2007 12:46:36 -0800 Received: from mx.excelsior.stonetree.com.uy (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mx.excelsior.stonetree.com.uy (Postfix) with ESMTP id 97C668004 for <[email protected]>; Sun, 4 Nov 2007 18:46:35 -0200 (UYST) DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; h=Received:Message-IDate:From:User-Agent:MIME-Version:To:Subject:Content-Type:Content-Transfer-Encoding; b=0V4+YuxKRwWUBN8NJiwbT55sxNf7v3Igzx8yPYGxf6Go7gKAmwZ+CASrlHomm+jc3Rn5eQWQQcY/Ym5raVF9wWnLhpXsDSZiqFbIlqoWlO0zzMtdh+v/JUs6Etx/lviiZOdh+L/26MWNbhrh7sjaBLgEWiK4pWwG03HWK89AkPQ=; c=nofws; d=stonetree.com.uy; q=dns; s=dk Received: from [192.168.0.150] (r190-64-149-60.dialup.adsl.anteldata.net.uy [190.64.149.60]) (Authenticated sender: [email protected]) by mx.excelsior.stonetree.com.uy (Postfix) with ESMTP id CC0977FCB for <[email protected]>; Sun, 4 Nov 2007 18:46:34 -0200 (UYST) Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 04 Nov 2007 18:46:29 -0200 From: Stonetree Technologies <[email protected]> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.6 (X11/20071022) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: [email protected] Subject: Prueba de mail Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 41 ########## END HEADER ########## The MX record for the domain "stonetree.com.uy" is "mx.excelsior.stonetree.com.uy"; it is in the SPF; everthing is OK. I have Postfix with Virtual Domains; all domains has the MX to "mx.excelsior.stonetree.com.uy". All the IP Addresses are clean (not blacklisted). Any idea why Google and Yahoo mark the mails as Spam? Or why Hotmail doesn't deliver the massage (even if the logs says otherwise). The messages content is rubish (eg: "This is a testing mail"). Could be somthing wrong configured in the postfix + virtual domains?
Try again. When I did (long time ago) they all did reply and told me they added my domains to an ok** list. **With Hotmail (MSN) it's called Sender ID program. I forgot the name from Yahoo.
I would guess that this is your problem: Looks like mail relaying, it's from a home broadband account, and to any of the big boys, thats spam.
Findings... Yes, i'm connected from a xDSL from my Home. My Thunderbird connects to the mail server (in USA, with static IP, clean as water and reverse dns). The mail originates from my home; but the sender is the server... could be that? I tryed with others servers and it arrived ok. I finded that the problem could be the "Message-ID" header... ""Message-ID: <[email protected]>"" in the postfix page I found this "http://www.postfix.org/BACKSCATTER_README.html" where it's explained that the Message-ID shoud be "host.domain"; in my case, should be "[email protected]", how is configured the Message id? Or how can this beheavor be changed. Thanks a lot
I don't use Thunderbird, so I'm afraid I can't help you there. I have no idea what it does or doesn't do. Normally, you connect to a mail server with a mail client, the server accepts the mail from the client, and then sends it on to the destination mail server, with itself as the originating server. So if my domain is mydomain.com, and my email address is [email protected], the headers would show that my mail server has mail from [email protected] which it is delivering to [email protected]. This is normal mail server operation. Your server however, is reporting the connection from you to itself, almost as a server-server mail transport connection, which is I think why the receiving mail servers at Gmail yahoo etc regard it as mail relaying and spam. PArticularly when it is shown as a home DSL type source, almost all of which are automatically blacklisted. I don't know if this is normal for Thunderbird, or whether it is a Postfix setting, but I've never seen it on my Postfix servers. Altering or deleting mail header components is also not a good idea. Very likely a standards violation, and even MORE likely to get it labelled as spam.
I have the exact same problem here are the headers and everything seems ok. headers from Iloha Webmail.
