Asked by diveshjain25
I am using postfix to send e-mails. My all e-mails are going to gmail spam folders, while I am using proper headers when sending from php mail() function. I have found this is due to dns entries but I have made all the entries i.e spf, dmarc, dkim and I have added my domain name in mx entry.
Can anyone help me out in solving this?

Hello, @diveshjain25
This could be due to a lot of things. But most likely your IP got blacklisted or just Gmail being too picky about the email.
I usually use this site in such cases:
https://www.mail-tester.com/
Just send an email to the email address that you see on the site, and then check your score.
You can also re-send the exact email that was delivered to the SPAM folder - use the same subject, content, signatures and attachments
This would point you to the right direction.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
