Hi

I am just learning how to bulk email, here is my set up, I cant hit inbox in yahoo,gmail, or hotamail

Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong

I posting the emails via SMTP to a vps, I am connecting through to the vps via a vpn and sending out mails via my smtp client. I have tried emails with macros and tokens,plain message, and also to test a message that says hi how are you

I have tried this report to see if everything is set up, is it set up correctly?

Summary of Results

SPF check: pass
DomainKeys check: pass
DKIM check: neutral
Sender-ID check: pass
SpamAssassin check: ham


SPF check details:

Result: pass
SPF (no records)

Is the SPF (Nor records a problem and how do I fix please)

DKIM check details:
----------------------------------------------------------
Result: neutral (message not signed)

Again the netural message not signed, how to do I fix this if is it problem?

2.0 URIBL_BLACK Contains an URL listed in the URIBL blacklist
[
-2.6 BAYES_00 BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 0 to 1%
[score: 0.0000]
0.0 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list

I see it says URL listed in the URIBL blacklist, does that effect my inboxing a lot?


I used the mx tools and their stmp check this is what it said

        OMG yes.

        If you actually have a list of people who WANT to receive your emails, get Aweber or Mailchimp ASAP and save yourself the headache.

        No need to reinvent the wheel here. Work smarter, not harder.

          Your domain has been blacklisted for outgoing email, and/or there is no open relay detected. You need to subscribe to an SMTP service, such as smtp.com to pass through especially to hotmail, yahoo, gmail, AOL etc. However, it will be much easier and cheaper just to go through a commercial provider. If you have valid subscriber credentials, they may let you import your list without having them re-confirm.
