Question
Mailx sending all mails to spam folder.
- Posted November 17, 2013
Newbie Here,
My goal is to setup email accounts with my domain (ex: john@mydomain.com) and use the SMTP Server I configured in my NodeJS App to send mails to my app’s subscribers.
I followed this tutorial in setting up Postfix and Mailx:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-postfix-on-centos-6
and installed iRedMail following this tutorial:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-iredmail-on-centos-6-3-x64
All is working fine except that all mails from the email accounts are being sent to the spam folder.
I have set up a TXT Record with these values as instructed in the tutorial:
Name: @ Text: v=spf1 ip4:MYSERVERIP_ADDRESS -all

@Kamal Nasser This is the response I get: <br> <br>StartError <br>Context: Failed to query MAIL-FROM <br>ErrorCode: (2) Could not find a valid SPF record <br>Error: No SPF records for ‘dealwithin.com’ <br>EndError <br>none
Here’s an example: <br><img src=“https://kmlnsr.me/Screenshot from 2013-11-17 15%3A50%3A39.png” alt=“screenshot” />
because it says “Unable to resolve cjflores in the DNS”
@Kamal Nasser Hi! What should I put in the Senders Computer Name Field? I apologize for the newbie question.
Have you wanted a few hours until the SPF record propagates? Try testing your SPF record using <a href=“http://tools.bevhost.com/spf/”>http://tools.bevhost.com/spf/</a>.
