I have installed a mail server in order to send e-mails using my own domain name. I've read many articles about how not to end up in Junk folder. I have done what those articles said:

  • Added MX record
  • Added SPF record
  • Added domain key
  • Added DMARC
  • Successfully set reverse dns record
  • Added postmaster, abuse accounts
  • Added real first name and surname values for the sender account
  • Tested on mail-tester.com and got 10/10 validation: http://www.mail-tester.com/web-N2jQha

Even tough I have done all of above, when I sent a test e-mail without images or suspicious words etc., it ended up in Junk folder all the same. (Tested for Outlook and Gmail)

This is the e-mail's original content for Gmail: http://pastebin.com/n83WMC3x

What else should i do? I am out of ideas.

  • I checked, domain name don't seem to be in any blacklist. My SPF, MX, DKIM, Domain Key, reverse DNS is valid. I've just started e-mailing so I don't think it is in flood category. I tested in the links you provided, seems all OK. What else?

  • From the headers it seems that your server uses IPv6 to connect to Gmail's and no reverse IPv6 DNS record seems to have been setup. No idea if that makes a huge difference, but you might try to force IPv4 and get a different result.

  • 1. MX records have nothing to do with your server sending email. 2. While you can follow every accepted best practice, in the end there's no guarantee that your email will never end up in a spam filter or junk mail folder.

  • @HBruijn I've set IPv6 reverse DNS, still no luck.
