i have just installed and configured exchange server everything is working fine . my smtp server is my exchange server and when i send an email to hotmail or yahoo it appears as spam . My ip is not bolacklisted .
Do i have to use a spam filter or something or what needs to be done please let me know . Any spam filter i can use for free?
spam filters are for incoming not outgoing. You need to figure out why hotmail and yahoo think your mail is spam no free products for exchange server that I am aware of.
BTW deleted your dup post in networking. Please don't multipost the same message. Thx
sorry about that ... using it for the first time . So what can i do to check why yahoo and hotmail thinks my email is a spam .
Because i am using my own smtp server and my email server is not hosted by my isp . . . . . .
perhaps this will help
http://postmaster.hotmail.com/Does your isp have a ptr record [reverse lookup] for your domain name from which you are sending this email?
i have got a domain name .co.cc so i can set a ptr records there or . how do i set it up from the isp ?
You call the isp techupport and talk to them. This is not something you can do.
Its because you dont have a reverse DNS record that points your IP address back to your domain name. This can only be done by your ISP as they own the subnet. Alternatively use a smarthost to send email to yahoo, hotmail, AOL etc. You will need to create a new routing group connector and add the desired domain names to the address space as well as adding the IP address of your service provider assuming your allowed to relay through them.
