    Got a new dedicated server on WHM/Cpanel . I can send to all other mail providers except Hotmail. When I send the mail, it shows that its send, there is no mail in the mail que. but no email arrives in hotmail accounts. This is a new server so I know its not in any Spam list as i've checked all that. Yes I have created an SPF record and Domain Keys . I tried to check my DNS status with dnsstuff.com , but i've noticed they have sold out and gone all commercial and they dont accept paypal & I dont have a credit card . Anyone here with a DNS stuff account ? maybe u can screenshot a DNS report for this account on dnsstuff.com for me

    http://www.intodns.com/younaija.com is a replacement for DNSStuff's dns checks.

    Your IP address does not appear to be blacklisted in any DNS blacklists.

    Try checking out:

    I think hotmail may not like the PTR record for the MX IP.

    If I recall correctly using a CNAME record for a PTR record is discouraged or does not comply with the RFC spec. but I'm not certain.
