Might sound like a standard hostname lookup, but it’s not at all.
Simply put a PTR record is a reverse DNS record that connects an IP address to a hostname. Remember: Any server in the world can send emails and SPAM protection is a scoring system and not an exact science. The issue is most likely you don’t have a proper PTR record or SPF record setup for the server. How can avoid Gmail servers from flagging my emails as “unwanted?”
I haveĪlso used email accounts that belonged to different domains. Creating more email accounts didn’t help. Though, it seems like Google Gmail servers have been flagging myĮmails as “Junk” for a very long time but other providers, such as You should only deal with DKIM stuff if you have no other choice not because it’s hard to setup but it’s not going to mean much of anything without valid PTR and SPF records in place. But in my experience, most server setups just need to get a PTR record set coupled with an SPF for SPAM flagging to disappear. Past both of those is the concept of DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and it’s use to validate mails. Related but if you don’t have an SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record set for the domain name, that won’t help anything at all so you should have that set as well.īut in the end, the PTR is really the most important thing followed by the SPF. It is not the domain name that is used in a specific subscription, but the server's name.In my experience not having a PTR (reverse DNS) record set for the IP address of a server is the number one way email gets flagged as SPAM on services like Gmail and even AOL. That is the same domain name that you use when you open the Plesk panel and where the IP address of your public server IP resolves to the general host name of the machine. Remove the comment tag and set $myhostname to the host name of the system. To solve this issue, you need to tweak the Postfix configuration as follows:Įdit /etc/postfix/main.cf and search for the line that configures the This difference lets the receiver think that the sender is spoofing.
But it also resolves the name of the sender, which is different - "localhost". The receiver resolves the name of the machine from where the connection is made and sees its host name. When webmail sends an email, this is sent from 127.0.0.1, which resolves to the name "localhost". If your mails only go into the junk folder when they are sent through webmail, the issue is caused by a mismatch of the submitting host name and your real host name. Since i'm new to all of this, i'm starting to lose a grip on how this all works.Īm i forgetting something here, any help is highly appreciated! On this plesk I use webmail (Roundcube), here is the problem.Īfter reading many, many articles and forums without coming to a solution, I am now typing this message. On this plesk I installed Wordpress (which works, the website part works)Ħ. I run a Vultr VPS and installed Plesk on itĥ. I Created a SSL/TLS certificate on Cloudflare, and imported it in PleskĤ. My DNS is managed at Cloudflare (use Cloudflare NS)ģ. I'll try to explain my setup/configuration as detailled as possibleĢ. My problem: When I use Plesk webmail (Roundcube) to send a mail to it goes to spam/junk. I have a technical background so I learn quick.

To begin, i'm a total newb trying to learn how to host a website and mailing.
