[Solved] Legitimate Mails Sent From My Domain Are Marked As Spam By Gmail :/

[yami]

Hi

I have domain name www,yami,us. I was wondering that why Gmail recognize emails sent from my domain/host as SPAM?

Thank you

Tell your gmail users to add your domain to their contact list. http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=9008

Honestly that is not very practical...

I found this article in internet but it is too geeky for me. Also I do not know users in Heliohost are able to do these settings or not?

Someone told me, I have to do some of these settings in my host then Gmail or any other Mail Server does not recognize my emails as SPAM.

Also I am not sure using something like Google Apps or Microsoft Live Domain as my email on my domain may help or not (I think it helps).

You can and should do #3 on your link. This is something you can do yourself for each domain you own that you intend to send email from.

3. Set up a SenderID record in your DNS

 

To be honest, SenderID is a bit of a "nice to have" compared to the above two. But if you've gone this far, you might as well go the distance. SenderID, while a little antiquated and kind of.. Microsoft/Hotmail centric.. doesn't take much additional effort.

 

SenderID isn't complicated. It's another TXT DNS record at the root of, say, example.com, which contains a specially formatted string documenting all the allowed IP addresses that mail can be expected to come from. Here's an example:

 

"v=spf1 a mx ip4:10.0.0.1 ip4:10.0.0.2 ~all"

You can use the Sender ID SPF Record Wizard to generate one of these for each domain you send email from.

Here's a link to get you started: http://stevie.heliohost.org:2082/frontend/x3/zoneedit/advanced.html Then select your domain (if you have more than one), select TXT from the drop down box and enter your values. It might not solve your gmail issues, but it won't hurt.
