[Mailman-Users] Went to Junk folders!!
hi I recently posted here about me moving my business and files from a shared hosting plan to my own dedicated server and got a new domain name. well anyways I moved my mailing list that contains about 600 emails of my customers and site visitors to the server and I threw in my personal emails at hotmail and yahoo and gmail in the list for testing. when I posted to the list for the first time I was surprised that all the messages in hotmail and yahoo and gmail went to junk and spam folders!! is it because I changed the domain name where I used to send from? or is it because of the server? if I transferred the old domain name to the server and used it for sending will I still be marked as junk in my subscriber's mailboxes? please help! _ Discover the new Windows Vista http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=windows+vistamkt=en-USform=QBRE -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

There's no way we can possibly answer any of these questions. You don't give us any information at all about the new hosting provider, the IP address used by the server you have, whether or not that provider is on any blacklists for having hosted spammy sites in the past, etc There's a pretty good discussion of this subject at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-spam_techniques_(e-mail), and a whole bunch of good links at http://www.spamlinks.net/prevent-isps.htm and http://www.spamlinks.net/prevent-marketers.htm. -- Brad Knowles [EMAIL PROTECTED] LinkedIn Profile: http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

Generally speaking, mail is flagged as spam by ISPs because of the content or the source. If the source is blacklisted, it is normally by IP address, not name. Your mail server needs to be properly configured. This means that the name with which it identifies itself in HELO/EHLO must be a fully qualified domain name that resolves to the IP it is sending from and that a rDNS lookup of that IP returns the same name. Beyond that, see Brad's reply and the FAQ at http://wiki.list.org/x/4oA9. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED]The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
