Problems I'm facing: Mail often bounces back with the error 553 Bogus helo hostname Mail gets delivered to the junk mail or spam folder of all major providers (yahoo, hotmail) except gmail Reverse DNS is in order but you can recheck that. I use hmailserver on windows 2003. I want my emails to be delivered to all servers & not filtered as spam. You will need to guide me step by step as to what has to be done, preferably over MSN messenger. I can't give you access to the server. Once this is resolved & my mails are delivered successfully to the inbox (not marked as spam) of major providers I'll pay $30 via paypal, moneybookers or e-gold.
If all of your sent emails are getting dumped into spam folders, you might send a message to yahoo/hotmail/etc. support and find out if the host that you are sending from has been 'blacklisted' for having a huge amount of spammers. Are you using a free host?
No, not a free host, a dedicated server. Can you help me with the contact details of yahoo/hotmail for such issues & provide some insight into whether they actually respond and how quickly? Thanks in advance.
For Hotmail: MSN Postmaster - Support for delivery problems, etc. For Yahoo: Seems to be a bit more difficult to find info on them. They have this post: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/technical/abuse-35.html, which refers to a 553 message, and links to a page that talks about messages being marked as spam. At the bottom of the page, they have a 'contact support' button. I'd try that option, and see if you can get answers directly from Yahoo on what to do about it. As for a time frame on response, I've never really had that problem (probably because I use gmail) so I couldn't honestly tell you how fast they will respond. I'm sure that someone will contact you though. Hope that helps.
