Re: [bitfolk] Email - getting out of spam filters

In my (albeit limited) experience of running a mail server this is something that is seen as a big issue (possibly just for newer domains) - having had a similar issue it was resolved almost immediately by fixing the PTR records - doing a reverse lookup on your mail server's address should match how it identifies itself (If it claims to be mail.a.com <http://mail.a.com> when connecting then the PTR for its IP address should be mail.a.com <http://mail.a.com>).

I'm pretty sure multiple PTR records is not allowed (or at least discouraged) anyway, which means I would need to start using the real name of my machine for the MX record instead of the one I am using. This isn't that much of a problem really, just means I don't have a nice 'mail.*' MX entry.
