sending maills to yahoo, hotmail issues
| Posted by deepman007, 04-13-2008, 12:57 PM |
| Hi
I'm testing out sending news subscription letters to yahoo and hotmail accounts, they ended up in their Junk and Spam folder.
When I check the Full Message Headers in Yahoo. I saw that the"
Return-Path: " and "Received: from nobody by host.mydomain.com with local"
Is it could be the "nobody" that mails are end up in Spam and Junk ?
Any suggestions?
Thank you all

| What mail server you have installed? Do you have SPF record at your DNS zone?

| How to find out what mail server you have installed? I used PHP mail() to send out news letter. I know my SPF is set up

| Run this as root (if you have access to ssh):
netstat -tanpu | grep "0.0.0.0:25"
and paste output.

| they are being sent within the nobody envelope.
mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers,"-f $from");
that's what i normally use to change the envelope.

notice how its just additional parameters not really a set thing. My setup is using exim and the -f is really just an alias to retain sendmail functionality.
if your using a different mta then you might needa do something different.
sending mail from the nobody (the apache/php user) will not necessarily get it spam filtered, and spf etc is more likely to help.
honestly good luck getting not spamboxed into yahoo right now, they pretty much are giving up managing their mail services correctly and have lots of issues lately
make sure the sending domain is the same as your spf records etc. also setup swip or rdns records if you can.

| Check your IP on spam databases.
