    I have tried many times sending email to Yahoo and Hotmail. The result is that my emails are in their junk mail folder.

    But when I sent to Gmail, it works fine.

    Do I have any misstake? Do I have to check at Maildir?

    * I use Mandriva with postfix according to http://www.falkotimme.com/howtos/perfect_setup_mandrake_10_2/

    thanks

    1. mark the domain in question as not spam in yahoo
    2. if running server from home network, do a whois.sc and see if your isp is listed in spam.

    I don't know if this is already the case, but I read something that Hotmail isn't going to accept emails from domains that have SPF set up. :( Maybe it's the same with Yahoo. You might have to create an SPF record in DNS for your Domain.

    I have tested both yahoo and msn and neither site junked any of my mail. It is true the MSN isn't setting up a SPF. I don't think yahoo will go a long way as long as SPF is enabled on there mail servers. Way too many corp. users' email get junked because of it.

    edit: I re-read and I got it backwards. MSN was going to use SPF.. My appologies.

    In other words, please ignore this post. It makes no sense. :mad:

    SPF Record

    I server is at co-location place. There has DNS server for me already. Do I have to setup SPF record on my server?

    In ISPConfig Management-> Server setting -> DNS, I just edit default Ns1 and Ns2 as the ISP DNS server instead my co-location server. I don't know whether it helps or not.

    You must create the SPF record on the DNS server that is authoritative for your domain. You can run
    Code:
    dig yourdomain.com
    to find out what servers are authoritative for your domain.

    Asking about mail header (to:)

    When I sent out email the To header is

    [email protected], [email protected]@[U]example.mydomain.com[/U]

    1.why example.mydomain.com is there?

    2. Does it make any problem when I sent mail?

    In fact, I had change it to ns.mydomain.net in ISPConfig->Management->Setting hostname = ns
    Domain = mydomain.net
