Hello guys! I would like to thank you in advance for your help. I am really stuck here and have a deadly deadline I have to take over the mail from my company (they have a contract atm with another company for mail services) and I am stuck. I have a Dell R300 server witch has Ubuntu Server installed. I also added Postfix for mail, configured it, everything runs smooth but!...all of my mail ends up in Spam at gmail and yahoo. Let's say my domain is "mydomain.com" and my ip is 89.xxx.yyy.zzz I shall put here all the config maybe you can help me. First of all...i talked to my ISP and had them put reverse dns on mydomain.com. I checked it with some utilities and it really shows mydomain.com. Now with my config: postconf -n alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases append_dot_mydomain = no biff = no broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes config_directory = /etc/postfix inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = ipv4 mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 102400000 mydestination = /etc/postfix/local-host-names mydomain = mydomain.com myhostname = mail. mydomain.com mynetworks = 89.xxx.yyy.0/30, 127.0.0.0/8 myorigin = /etc/mailname readme_directory = no recipient_delimiter = + relayhost = smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s smtpd_use_tls = yes tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom cat /etc/postfix/local-host-names ################################### # # ISPConfig local-host-names Configuration File # Version 1.0 # ################################### localhost server1 localhost.server1 localhost.localdomain www.mydomain.com webmail.mydomain.com mydomain.com #### MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! #### cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 89.xxx.yyy.zzz server1 cat /etc/resolv.conf search mydomain.com nameserver 89.xxx.yyy.zzz dig mydomain.com ; <<>> DiG 9.5.0-P2 <<>> mydomain.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 58678 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;mydomain.com.

Lot's of info about this on the forum. 1) Make sure your SPF records are correct. 2) Make sure you have a correct reverse DNS setup. 3) Contact Yahoo (and if needed hotmail.com / live.com / MSN.com), and ask if they will "white list" your domain(s) For Yahoo more info here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/forms_index.html For Hotmail / Live more info here: http://postmaster.live.com/
well...i talked to my ISP for reverse, and i posted here my reverse dns setting from bind. I dunno how to setup SPF :-s and i shall contact yahoo and gmail. Is my reverse dns in bind setup correctly?
I checked that and everything seems allright. Well....after i made a SPF record that looks like this: "mydomain.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:89.xxx.yyy.zzz a mx ~all" and after making an A record of mail.domain.com my mail goes to Inbox in Gmail but still in spam at Yahoo Mail. Should I buy a security certificate? Because it keeps asking me when I try to send mail. Maybe that should solve the problem? Have a nice day
You do not need to buy a security certificate. Is your server on a static (fixed) IP? For Yahoo you WILL need to contact Yahoo, and ask if they 'white list' your domain! http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/forms_index.html Maybe some more useful info: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/postmaster-01.html, http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/basics/basics-55.html Also make sure that you server is not blacklisted! http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
