Hi all, sorry if i post in the wrong place, i have a problem with my vps, i've created a email, admin@site.com and when i send mails from cpanel to my personal yahoo email, the server sends spam emails, why?

HOW can i resolve this?

could be a number of things. check your junk settings on yahoo. check to see if your mail server is on a blacklist.

Also, what content are you putting in the test emails? make sure it doesn't seem spammy...

i've checked my mail server and it isn't on blacklist. the content i have wrote was 'teeeeeeeeeeeest'... it doesn't seem spam :|

Have you created SPF records, and asked the DC to add a Reverse IP entry?

**dj_leno_2006** · 05-29-2009, 04:12 AM

In most cases your provider will be responsible for this, and in some cases you will have the ability to set this via their control panel. You should contact their support team and ask how to set a reverse DNS (PTR) record for your IP address.

You will provide them with a domain (e.g. your server hostname) to set in this record. Then if you do a lookup (e.g. nslookup) on the IP address it should return the server hostname as the result.

Many mail servers check for this as part of an anti-spam process. (i.e. if you don't have rDNS configured they treat it as spam and may block/filter it more aggressively).

Contact them. Possibly your IP neighbor is doing something wrong and because of him that was blacklisted

That could be. Sometimes our customers start have emails from us in the spam folders and what we do is contact Yahoo and solving the problem

If your on a VPS you should have dedicated IP's in which case they won't be on any SPAM black lists.

More than likely it is just because yahoo is crazy strict with their SPAM filter. What DC are you in?
