Hi All,
A few friends of mine (with gmail accounts) told me all my mails get send to their spam folders, even after confirming in settings my mail is not spam.
So I started wondering if my DNS settings were set up ok... even though perhaps the problem lies elsewhere. But this is my starting point.
Looking at http://www.intodns.com/webfoundry-hosting.be it seems some settings might be wrong.
2 weeks ago I already added a PTR record, wich wasn't there before.
I'm hosted at linode.com
In LINODE DNS Manager these are the settings :
At ADMIN LEVEL in DirectAdmin for server.webfoundry-hosting.be these are the settings :
At USER LEVEL in DirectAdmin for any domains (in this case my personal domain) :
F.Y.I. (I don't know if it's important):
Settings in CustomBuild 2 are
exim : yes
eximconf : no
eximconf_release : 2.1
Do these things look ok? looking at the red flags in intodns.com
And (or how) can I improve mail-reliability when sending from a particular domain (even though here at home smtp settings are set to internetprovider).
