tdm Posted Tuesday at 09:35 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:35 PM Hi ! I recently moved the registration mail function on my site to plesk using phpmailer and everything is going well, but... all sent mails go into receiver's spam folder, except for the gmail addresses. I checked with mail-tester.com, it gives 10/10 but says that : Your IP address 65.19.154.93 is associated with the domain name 3(NXDOMAIN). However your message seems to be sent from tommy2.heliohost.org. You should change the DNS pointer record (Type PTR) and the host name of your server to the same value Here are the tested values for this check: IP: 65.19.154.93 HELO: tommy2.heliohost.org rDNS: 3(NXDOMAIN) This looks to me like Chinese stuff and is way beyond my skills ! I'm using two mail addresses (don't know if that matters) : admin@tdm-yamaha.heliohost.org no_reply@tdm-yamaha.heliohost.org Thanks for your help, I always appreciate the support found here.

An admin will need to change that record for you, as Plesk DNS zone permissions are not currently enabled for customer accounts. I am going to page @Krydos, @wolstech and @KazVee and they will get you sorted in a bit. Edited yesterday at 03:43 AM by Ookma-Kyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ookma-Kyi Posted yesterday at 03:00 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:00 PM Oops sorry, about that, I did not know that. I assumed all staff had access to the user's website settings. I am just trying to volunteer my time as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdm Posted 23 hours ago Author Share Posted 23 hours ago Thanks, but now I got the Plesk def page instead of the site ! Additionally the back-office pages are no more https. Web Server's Default Page This page is generated by Plesk, the leading hosting automation software. You see this page because there is no Web site at this address.

tdm Posted 17 hours ago Author Share Posted 17 hours ago Thanks ! It also looks like $smtp->Encoding = "base64"; in my code is wrong as "base64-encoded HTML bodies make you look like a spammer" (from stackoverflow.com) So I changed it to $smtp->Encoding = "quoted-printable"; Now the problem is I cannot test this due to the "SMTP quota exceded" error ! Is it possible to have a temporary quota limit above 10/hour ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdm Posted 16 hours ago Author Share Posted 16 hours ago So, things are ok now for both html and text body when using $smtp->Encoding = "quoted-printable"; The issue remains with outlook.com event when sending plain text (utf-8) mails, they all go to the spam box. According to github.com there is nothing I can do : https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/issues/1412 The more important is that it is ok with gmail.com and yahoo.com for html body mails. Hope this helps. Thanks Team for your support ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago 4 hours ago, tdm said: Is it possible to have a temporary quota limit above 10/hour ? Yeah, we can set it to 50 per hour, but you're still limited to 50 emails per day, and if you exceed the 50 limit your email sending privileges get revoked entirely so the 10 per hour limit helps people from getting disabled entirely. If you need to send more than 50 emails per day the limit can be raised, but we need additional information from you first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdm Posted 7 hours ago Author Share Posted 7 hours ago Thanks but no need for a quota raise, I've sorted the issue. Actually my site sends emails only for user's registration & when they forget their password. So that's no more than 10/day. The quota limit raise was only required when trying to sort the problem of mails ending into spam boxes and therefore having to use phpmailer more than usual for testing purposes. My site does not use any cms, I've coded all php/mysql/javascript by myself. You may ask more info if you need to. Thanks again for the help.
