Hi,
I’m using echo “My test email being sent from sendmail” | /usr/sbin/sendmail someemail@outlook.com with hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain mydomainname
The emails reach perfectly fine to gmail accounts (spam) but never reach any outlook.com accounts. Anyone knows what would could be the issue?
I also tried with hosts: 127.0.0.1 targetmoon.localhost mydomainname . Same results.
Appreciate any help :)
Thanks!

Found the problem. Had to add the domain and the hostname.com to the safe list in outlook. <br> <br>Notice that hostname.domain.com isn’t automatically white listed with the domain so you have to add it as well. <br> <br>Thanks.
hostname -f: <br> <br>myhost.mydomain.com <br> <br>No dot at the end.
Hey Pablo, <br> <br>I went over the tutorial followed the steps there. Gmail now receive the emails straight to Inbox and not spam but outlook.com still doesnt show any emails. I have 2 outlook.com accounts to confirm just in case. <br> <br>cat /etc/hosts (mydomain myhost myip changed to defaults): <br> <br>127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost <br>127.0.1.1 myhost.mydomain.com myhost <br>123.456.78.90 myhost.mydomain.com myhost <br> <br># The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts <br>::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback <br>fe00::0 ip6-localnet <br>ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix <br>ff02::1 ip6-allnodes <br>ff02::2 ip6-allrouters <br> <br> <br>hostname -f: <br> <br>myhost.mydomain.com. <br> <br> <br>Thanks!
<b>“127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain mydomainname”</b> <br> <br>That’s your culprit. You need a properly-formatted <code>/etc/hosts</code> file. <i>See</i> <a href=“https://github.com/DigitalOcean-User-Projects/Articles-and-Tutorials/blob/master/set_hostname_fqdn_on_ubuntu_centos.md”>Setting the Hostname & Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) on Ubuntu 12.04 or CentOS 6.4</a>.
