I have been trying to figure out how to keep my company’s email from being treated as junk mail by Hotmail, Yahoo & Gmail for over a year.
When I acquired the company its email was hosted by sina.com as its in China. It was being run under a windows server and had issues sending & receiving.
I moved it to a linux server system in Hong Kong that has a US co-host site in Chicago area thinking its got to better than whats running in China.
We are still having problems sending emails to hotmail, yahoo and gmail.
My entire company is about ready to redmond our company email and use their personal webmail accounts.
Can anyone suggest how to keep emails from being flagged as junk mail??
E-mail looks like junk mail either because of content of something else on
the destination side. Find out why those mail servers hate you (it’s the
destination side that does this, not some magic about how the stupid mail
server sends… SMTP is SMTP is SMTP) and change your setup accordingly.
Perhaps your reverse DNS is failing so the mail servers cannot look you up
properly and verify you are really yoursite.org and not warezsite.tld or
something like that.
On the other hand if you really are sending junk mail then you deserve
what you are getting and no amount of changing software will help that.
Good luck.

Thanks I’ll be working on that this weekend. Hangover day excluded. If I knew how to run my own email server, I would. Until then, I’ll just have to keep putting out fires as fast as I can.
