Hi there,

I have following problem, sending out e-mails from my site ( like account verification mails and such ) are not delivered to Hotmail, in case of Gmail they are delivered to junk mail folder. Our coder tested the php script on his own server and it works fine, Hotmail recives mails as well does Gmail normally. I am using web application to send out those emails

I also tested sending e-mails via mail client ( thunderbird ) and following results happened. Hotmail recieved the email, but into junk mail folder, Gmail recieved mail normally into inbox.

So it works on our test server but when I put it on VPS ( im renting VPS from CWCS in UK) hotmail is not reciving any mails and gmail gets them into junk mail. The server provider updated our reverse DNS records but that did not solve the problem. Since the script is working fine on our test server - I don't believ it is the Headers. Our coder believs its the server we r renting that is causing the problem. Atm getting new server is not viable ( would take too long to set all up and configure properly)

Its really importan since im about to go public with my site and I cant have hotmail not reciving mails. I would greatly appriciate if anyone could share some light what might be possible problem or solutions?

Your situation is simple, the SMTP server that is sending that email is blacklisted.

Solution to send emails without SMTP server:

email();

Sorry, but it isn't that simple when it comes to Hotmail anymore.

It could be that he doesn't have a properly formatted SPF Record, which can cause Hotmail/MSN to completely ignore the email after accepting it.
