Gmail marking email as spam

[thak777]

While email between other self-hosted servers seems to work just fine, Gmail is marking inbound mail as spam. (Once it’s marked as “not spam”, it receives fine, but that’s not good for initial email contact.)

Is there some kind of specific setting necessary for the Microsoft & Google of the world?

Hi

This should help for Microsoft:

How to unblock from Microsoft / Hotmail / Live

Creating a new post by request. There are WAY too many post asking about being blocked by Outlook / Hotmail / Microsoft. The fact is, you are not alone. it may have nothing got to do with your host MOST LIKELY nothing got to do with UCEPROTECT blacklist SCAM your IP address had been used to send undesirable emails to them, by previous owner. It’s not difficult to get unbanned from outlook, you just need to prove you are not a spammer, OR your IP is newly acquired and you were not the spamme…

Also make sure SPF and DKIM is working properly. You can also register your domains at Postmaster Tools – Google Even though the amount of email might be too little to show anything in there, it also can’t hurt.

I’ve used MXToolBox on both domains I have hosted there and they show that both DKIM and DMARC are valid. One of the two domains is blacklisted on a spam list–probably because the domain name ends in .cc–but the other one is not.

Per your suggestion, I have added both domains to the Postmaster Tools. (Thanks for that.)

We’ll see if that helps.
