Hotmail BULK

[basim]

All Emails sent to hotmail goes to bulk folder , Hotmail treat it as Spam cs it comes from Hsphere.cc ,not from my and my clients domains ,

Received: from mail4.hsphere.cc

How can i solve this problem ?

[generic]

is this a script that you are receiving emails from, otherwise why is it coming from mail4 rather than an email address? or do you mean header info?

If you're on windows, try using localhost for your smtp server.

<<
WARN : SPF record Your domain does not have an SPF record. This means that spammers can easily send out E-mail that looks like it came from your domain, which can make your domain look bad (if the recipient thinks you really sent it), and can cost you money (when people complain to you, rather than the spammer). You may want to add an SPF record ASAP, as 01 Oct 2004 was the target date for domains to have SPF records in place (Hotmail, for example, started checking SPF records on 01 Oct 2004).

mail4.sptechs.net claims to be host mail4.hsphere.cc.

Any suggestions ?

Psoft was going to put spf record support in as a priority after the 2.4 release. I think it got bumped back down.

It's a "suggestion", not an internet requirement. Even with it, there's no guarentee you won't go into bulk mail unless the end user whitelists your domain.

Part of the problem is that there were two "same but different" standards for it. No suprise that it was Microsoft's version and everyone elses - lol.

IIRC, the dispute was settled late in the game making it to late for the October date for most vendors.

At any rate, it's a psoft issue, not a vortech one.
