Hi,

Its a bit hard to tell from that, as it's not formatted nicely.

I would also suggest running a test email through: http://mail-tester.com/

This will check if DKIM is setup, SPF, and a few other bits. Ideally you would want to setup a test post with a user that has the email address they gave you. Then reply to the forum post so it triggers and email to sent to mail-tester.com. This way you should get a good idea of how its being received.

FWIW all email providers have their own systems - so fixing it for one domain may not work for others (some like wanadoo.fr are a total PITA - as I found out a while back!)

Cheers

Hi,

So the first thing that sticks out if that you are not using DKIM. Are you self hosted, or managed? If managed, just ask your host to set this up for you

It also says you are in a blacklist:

Quote:
Listed in Barracuda ( -0.5 )

https://mxtoolbox.com/...144&run=toolpage

I would try and get removed from that - as that certainly won't be helping you case.

Maybe try those 2 things out first, and then see what it does to your score (and see if your mails are getting through)

Cheers

Yeah DKIM can be a bit of a PITA. The key is getting the keys setup on your server, and then outputting the DKIM signature needed to put into your DNS record. The server system I use (VestaCP) is pretty cool and handles all of this for you - so one less thing to worry about.
