Posted by MziB, 12-31-2009, 11:17 PM I have been having this problem where Yahoo, Hotmail (live, microsoft stuff), AOL, and others have been marking my emails as spam despite the emails only being activation email from my forum. It works fine with Gmail, so to solve the problem I just added an alert that says "CHECK SPAM FOLDER". Which is a good temp solution. What are you guys using or the settings you have installed thats letting your email go into the inbox in Hotmail, AOL, etc.. Please share tricks and tips.
Posted by htbsales, 12-31-2009, 11:33 PM If you run your own server the typical reverse DNS settings are a good start. However, Domain Keys and SPF entrys for the server hostname seem increase your success rate. Try sending an email to check-auth [at] verifier.port25.com. It will give its version of your domains ability to send email that will not find its way to the junk folder.
