So I have querried the Postfix list with this problem to no avail so I
come to you all the veritable encyclopedia of all things spam, although
this one is a little different.
In short mail that comes from my domain is being tagged as spam by
entities such as Hotmail and yahoo, as well as the spam filtering
mechanisims a couple of kind souls on the postfix list who shared rules
which fired on my messages but offered no solution.
Here is the set-up. I host my own domain on a measly 700mhz Athalonn box
running SuSE 9.1. I am a residential subscriber of cable internet service
provided by OptOnline (which means I have a dynamically assigned IP
address, which hasn't changed in over a year now).
I use Squirrelmail as the MUA and I have it configured so that it relays
mail directly to my providers SMTP server 'mail.optonline.net' so that is
never hits local postfix service. (well the provider that my home network
is connected through)
I work on the road 4 days a week and dial-up through various providers and
(hence SqMail as the MUA) would that matter at all, either way It still
gets sent from the server box correct?
I have verified that my domain is not listed as an open relay, although my
IP being that it is in a "Dynamic" range is listed in a few of the RHBLs.
But I do not see this behaviour using Outlook on my XP box which is
basically the same thing as using SqMail right, i.e. they both connect
directly to the smtp server mail.optonline.net
Do you all know of anything I can do in this situation to help keep my
mails from ending up in spam folders or worse sent into the black hole
that is /dev/null
Here are the Spam rules and headers from one of my e-mails that a kind
postfixer sent me:
