Vps and yahoo

[Aerials]

anyone having problems with vps mail sending to yahoo ?

i been with jag for a few years now i started on a vps and then moved down to a reseller and only around a week ago i moved back to a vps and im having loads of trouble with my mail.
i have all my mail forwarded to my yahoo account and have done over the last 3 years but now all my mail is going into spam.
and i cant understand why and ive had quite a few tickets back and forth and jag has tried to help but cant seem to sort out my problem.
anyone else having problems with this.

First, I'd set up SPF record(s) in your DNS and ask support to set up RDNS for your server if you haven't already.

SPF is a mechanism that some mail servers use to verify that incoming mail is being sent by a server that is authorized to send mail from the domain in the From address so as to prevent spoofing.

Many servers require a valid RDNS (reverse DNS) check before they'll accept mail. Basically, when a sending server connects to a receiving server it says something like "Hi, I'm vps.yourdomain.com." If the receiving server checks RDNS, it will do a DNS lookup on the sending server's IP address and verify that it gets back "vps.yourdomain.com" and not something else. JPC doesn't set this up by default (or at least in the past they didn't), but more and more receiving servers seem to be checking it.

If neither of those approaches helps, Yahoo has a whitelisiting proceedure you can go through. I had an issue with mail coming from a couple of mailing lists I hosted on my VPS getting marked as spam for Yahoo recipients. After submitting their requested info form and proving that I was sending legitimate, op-in mail, my list's messages started going to people's inboxes again. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...er/bulkv2.html

Hope this helps.

Perhaps it is time to have this setup as default. TBTB any reason why this is not in the default setup?

thanks jason all that has been done by jag but not as standard it had to be done during our tickets back and forth.
ok i just done an experiment if i go to one of my cpanels and email my self direct from squirrel mail to my yahoo i sent 5 emails and 5 arrived in the yahoo inbox.
then i went to yahoo and sent 5 to my domain email address which then forwards my mail back to yahoo and they all arrived in the spam. just asked a friend to send me 5 from his yahoo and his all came through. strange one this

I've never gotten SPF to work properly :-/

I have noticed that to send email to many service providers, you now have to do the reverse DNS thing.

And the worst part is they drop it into a black hole, recipient never knew it existed and you get no returned mail.

Yeah, the was the most annoying part--figuring out where the heck the messages were going!

well i had to cancel my spam mail in yahoo so now i get tons of mail in my inbox but atleast i get my mail.i think i will just go back to a reseller package its cheaper and it worked for me.
