Hi,
Why my mail every Time Go in yahoo bluk folder
This yahoo mail Header :-
Okay, I have *JUST* gone through the same problem, and here is the
solution. Several of my users noticed that mail sent from their
qmailtoaster accounts ended up being classified as junk mail, and
sorted in the junk mail folder on Yahoo. Incidentally, the same
happened with mail sent to Hotmail accounts.
Yahoo *requires* that originating mail servers have both proper
reverse DNS as well as an SPF record in their DNS record in order for
them not to be recognized and classified as junk.
After I provided both reverse DNS for both of my mail servers, as
well as a proper SPF record, Yahoo started properly accepting and
routing incoming mail to the inbox, instead of the junk mail folder.
All needed changes will need to be made to your DNS record.
Essentially, you need to contact Yahoo at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and they
will respond within 24 hours with some form mails pointing you in the
right direction.

You can also respond to the following questionnaire, but I have found
that the above is enough to lift the block. What follows is thus more
for academic information.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.
If emails sent by your servers are being delivered to the Yahoo! Bulk
Mail folder and you would like to prevent this from occurring, please
complete the following application below to help us determine where your
email is most appropriately delivered. We ask that you provide
responsive, complete and truthful information. Please note that by
submitting this information to Yahoo!, you agree to adhere to the Yahoo!
Terms of Service (TOS). You may review these Terms by visiting:
http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
If you use a shared mailing service and do not have an IP address solely
dedicated for your email, please forward this questionnaire to a
representative of your mail service provider, as we will need to
evaluate their overall mailing practices and policies rather than yours.
Your mail server IP reverse DNS should reflect your domain in the name.
In addition, this application process is not a guarantee for delivery to
our users' Inbox. Individual user filtering preferences may override
system-wide settings. If Yahoo! is made aware of any indication that
your answers are false or inaccurate, or that your mailing practices
have changed, we may, in our sole discretion, take appropriate action,
including but not limited to directing email to the Bulk Mail folder and
refusing to evaluate any future questionnaire submissions for a period
of six months.
To begin this application process, we would appreciate you taking the
time to provide us with the information requested below:
1. Do you rent, lease, buy or otherwise obtain email lists from
companies, individuals, organizations, or websites (other than those you

the

bottom right-hand corner.
10. Please provide all of the active email IP address(es) and domain
names you are currently using to send your mailings including notes with

administrators to describe which of their clients corresponds to each IP
address. Please submit this information in the following format:
IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
