Hello,
I have spent the last three day’s trying my very best to get my email services working correctly. Unfortunately mail sent to gmail is going to spam. I have tried all I can think of including:
- Setting up an SPF record
- Setting up opendkim
Here is a mail header: Delivered-To: phulme@threehillslane.com Received: by 10.224.193.66 with SMTP id dt2csp205769qab; Tue, 29 Apr 2014 16:51:59 -0700 (PDT) Received: from duprod.divvyup.com.au (duprod.divvyup.com.au.

Hi there, <br> <br>Sadly, this is an often common side effect of running your own mail server… There are services you can look into so that you are not self-hosting and being snagged by spam detection from the major providers. However, more often than not this is the anticipated functions of their spam filters.
So does this mean that the only effective way to send mail to a gmail/google account is to subscribe to a paid service? Mail forms a critical function in my application and I need it to be rock solid.
emails sent from my mail server never go to Spam folder. My DNS looks like this: <br>@ IN A your-ip <br>mail CNAME @ <br>@ TXT “v=spf1 ip4:your-ip -all” <br> <br>Try to add a TXT and remove the SPF record. Remember to wait for a DNS refresh and try it.
