Not sure if anyone has had any success but I have the exact same problem with sending mail from my server to hotmail accounts. Whether you directly email a hotmail account from any account on my server, or using a php script (ie. contact us) that has a hotmail account, NO EMAIL IS GOING THROUGH.
My exim mainlog shows the email going through fine but when checking hotmail it never comes in.
Anyone find a fix yet?
You won't find the answer here, I've been searching for 3 months on this forum as my frustration grows.
No body really gives answers here, hey do that do this.
I have been folowing this forum for a couple of months now, I think it lacks some clear tutorials.
What I can tell you is that spf and ptr records did not help me, and they are set up corectly.
I even called hotmail , I have told them that I have set up SPF records and they told me that they can see that after I have sent out a test e-mail to a specific e-mail address that they told me to send to so they can read the headers.
The answer I got from them was " we just don't know why your e-mails are not resolving to the inbox, you have set up SPF records corectly but we don't know why our filters are stoping your e-mails and redirecting them in the junk folder"
As for the PTR records they are also set up and pointing to my IP as I requested from my ISP.
I also checked to see if I'm not black listed, and I'm not.
As for answers regarding problems with sending mail to hotmail and yahoo you won't find answers here, just opinions, you might as well get a profesional and pay him a small fee so he can get the job done, I know that is what I'm going to do.
This forum has some good answers, but when it comes to this issue it's not really a helping hand, this problem with sending out mails to yahoo or hotmail is old, and it's well known on this forum, and no one has provided real asnwers.
