Yahoo Bulk Question

Hey All,

Here is my situation: I send out newsletters for several clients. I
run my own mailserver. I have several domains registered, as each
client wants a different FROM address.

I have 1 reserved IP address.

So, what I am noticing is that I send the same letter out using 2
different domains. And, one of the domains go to the INBOX, and the
other domain goes to the BULK filder.

Why is that? The content of the email is the same. The IP address is
the same. Why does one letter go to the INBOX and the other to the
BULK folder???

Please explain?

Thanks

Sorry, this is not @yahoo.com technical support.

Only Yahoo can answer this question for you.

As someone else pointed out, the only correct answer to this question can
come from Yahoo! itself. However, I'll hazard a couple of guesses:

1) Are you sending both e-mails to the same account? If so, perhaps Yahoo!
is discarding the second message because it recognizes it as a duplicate.

2) Perhaps Yahoo! blacklists spam based on domain names, not IP addresses,
and one of your domain names (but not the other) was blacklisted for
spamming.

Tristan

Do you have Yahoo!'s SpamGuard switched on? If so, switch it off and
try again.

Re: Yahoo Bulk Question

If it is happening to me, then it is happening to all the clients
too.............

Re: Yahoo Bulk Question

What mailserver are you using?

Do you have DNS A records for each domain name?

Do you have DNS MX mail server hostname records for each domain name?

Do you have an SPF record for your mail server?

Is your mail server configured to present itself as the same hostname as you
have configured in your DNS MX and Host records?

Basically, all these things must match for each domain name.

My guess is that you have not done at least one of these things in one of
the domains.

Re: Yahoo Bulk Question

Oh, another thing... have you created a reverse lookup record (sometimes
called a pointer record) for your IP? This usually can only be created by
the outfit that gave you the public IP (since they "own" it). Normally your
ISP.

Re: Yahoo Bulk Question

Frank,

Thanks for all the ideas. I'm not a mail genius. I believe that I
have set things up correctly, and that there is a reverse DNS set up.

If you would not mind helping me through this, I can give you whatever
info you need to check things out..........just let me know. IP's,
Domain Names, etc.....

Thanks!

Sigh! :-(

Please answer the question and, if appropriate, re-perform the tests.

Also please quote to whom/what you're responding. Common netiquette/
sense and all that.

And concerning your comment:

*Do* all of them have the problem too, or do you only *think* that
they might have the problem too? Call us silly, but in these technical
newsgroups, we prefer to concern ourselves with facts, not with what
people think.

Also realize that, AFAIK, SpamGuard is off by default, so it won't be
"happening to all the clients too", unless *all* of them have SpamGuard
turned on.
