Email sent to gmail is flagged as spam.

Posted on December 11, 2013

I am almost ready to give up here. I have a ubuntu server with postfix and I am hosting mutiple domain names with email accounts. Any email address I send from on my server to gmail ends up in a spam folder.

I have this SPF record set for all my domains in the DNS and my email still ends up in gmails spam folder. Here is my SPF record: @ v=spf1 mx ip4:192.241.174.155 -all

I have checked the spam lists from here http://www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/192.241.174.155 and everything looks good.

Any help would be appreciated. I am at a loss.

Here is a email header from one email that is put in apm folder
