Hi Branko, Yes, I'm sure you are probably right and I am not an expert with this. We have just tried it various ways and we got the best results sending via recognisable 'mainstream' mail service providers. We can live within the limits of their quotas, so we just do it that way.
If you want to use your own server, I understand these details can be significant: * Not blacklisted * Server has MX and reverse DNS records * Have SPF DNS records * Sender_id * Server's HELO response matches hostname * Server is not an open relay * DNS TTL is not too low The problem is that you don't always know if you're ending up in the junk mail. And, if you do find out, it's not always clear why :) -D On Nov 25, 12:22 pm, Branko Vukelic <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 12:41 PM, villas <[email protected]> wrote: > > I appreciate that we can send mail directly, but these days mail from > > unrecognised servers is considered 'suspicious' by the recipients' > > There's a big difference between 'unrecognized' and 'unidentified'. > The latter is a server that is not properly set up to identify itself > to the receiving end (either by mistake, or with intent), and gets > marked as spam.
