Has anyone had to contact hotmail about this kind of thing? Mail from my server automatically gets put in the spam folder. My server isn't blacklisted as far as I know, and it's a static IP.
My ISP said: "Does your mail server have a PTR entry in your DNS zone file? Without one, many hosts may reject your email. Basically a receiving host will do a reverse lookup to make sure that the incoming email traces back to the originating (sending) server IP - if it cannot resolve it, then the email will be rejected. A PTR is an entry in your DNS zone file that is referenced when a server does a reverse lookup. " ... but that doesn't make sense to me. I have different A and MX records for the domain, specifically so that I can use a hosted web service while serving mail on a different machine. If that weren't perfectly legit, why even have the concept of an MX record? Any suggestions gratefully appreciated. -- monique Ask smart questions, get good answers: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
