Hi!
I installed SMTP, POP3 server on Server 2003.
I can send and receive emails, but my outgoing emails go to Junk mail.

If I do "telnet mail.xxxxxx.com 25" from outside, my SMTP responds with "220 ****2*************..." and long bunch of "*" and "2"...

Please help!

Thanks!
This article does not explain how to change "fully qualified domain name" (FQDN)...
However, the FQDN is set up in SMTP to mail.domain.com through Properties-Delivery-Advanced.
If I run telnet inside of the firewall I get good legitimate response:
"220 mail.domain.com ESMTP...READY", ), but outside of firewall, telnet returns 220 and stars.

I fixed SMTP greeting: it is "220 mail.domain.com ESMTP..."

But my emails go to junk mail folder on recipient side.

Does anyone know what is a problem here?

It's being declared spam. Your domain may be blacklisted.

My domain exists a couple weeks only. Can it be already blacklisted? Is there way to check and fix it?
