I have vps
domain
All are newly bought.

After installing Virtuamin on ubuntu 22, I created virtual server
now moved to virtualmin, dns records
Obtained on the records and used them to update my domain dns and mx records
Below is my dmarc

_dmarc.
v=DMARC1; p=none; fo=1; rua=mailto:dmarc@domain.tld; ruf=mailto:dmarc@domain.tld

Finally, i used mxtoolbox to make sure everything is ok.
http://mail-tester.com is 10/10

If you type your email in ALL CAPS like you have your message on this forum, your email will go straight to spam for this reason alone.

Letā€™s seeā€¦

First, your VPS is completely new and even though you have fully configured SPF DKIM DMARC and even PTR Record have been configured successfully. Next, you tried sending an email through mail-tester and everything said that you were PASS and when you sent an email to any gmail address, it was immediately moved to the spam box.

Sorry if I summarized your story wrongā€¦

What you need to do now is check the existing Public IP on the VPS to see if it is marked as Spam IP or not? Iā€™m sure it will be reported by some units as being on the spam list.

Next, do you still send a test email to outlook/office 365 and see if this situation still occurs? If it still happens, mark the email you sent to test first as NOT SPAM and then send many different emails to test again.

Similar to gmail. Please mark the email as not spam and try sending again. If it still doesnā€™t work, I think you should refer and fill in more information here, the rest is for Google to solve itself.

If things are still not going your way and you want to fix this situation even faster >> the only option is to buy mail relay service from a third party provider to configure >> 100% email will get right where it needs to go, which is the inbox.

You can refer to smtp2goā€™s mail relay service with 1000 emails/month for free and perform configuration. I had previously done the configuration on Virtualmin and it worked great.

Good luck!

Thank you for your kind reply.
My IP, domain are all neat. No single record of blacklisted.
Yes i checked both gmail and office365 it goes junk. I marked as not spam as you directed, it only respected the particular email id, when i tested with other email ids, it goes junk.
Mail services like roundcube and proton mail are going inbox.

I did not type emails in caps.

so why did you type the first post in caps ?

apart from the original ā€˜iā€™ doing that is likely to wind some folks (people in English) up

As I shared earlier, now you need to use mail-relay and configure directly on postfix. This will help your email reach 100% straight to the inbox.

If you need, I will try to write a tutorial post according to your article and I guarantee that it will work very well.

In addition, the service you mentioned is specialized Email srv and is only for sending/receiving emails. In addition, it does not have as many functions as Virtualmin and what you need is to integrate everything together to bring the highest efficiency. You are using an open source platform which has many different supporters and they have not charged any fees with the GPL and it is a Website platform, it is not a platform written to be sent and receive emails. If this thing in Virtualmin makes you unhappy because the rate of emails going to spam is high and you donā€™t want to set up to be effective with advice from the community >> I think you should switch to a professional email service businesses like Office365/Google Workspace,ā€¦ instead of sitting here and complaining

If I remember correctly, I used to use Google Workspace before and my emails when sent went to the spam box. A couple of times I sought help from Google and followed the instructions with the link I sent below. on https://postmaster.google.com/ and Office 365 too, if possible, enter the postmaster request from their provider

Simply because he was under panic no need to highlight it ā€¦

So the real reason why your mail goes in the Spam (But Iā€™m sure you will not be a spam for https://tuta.com, a truly good mail provider).

It simply because Google and its ā€œbrothersā€ will always put any kind of mail in the spam if you donā€™t heavily pay them First (or if your hosting do it). It will be the same for referencing your site (Even more if you donā€™t share the same vision than them).

But fear not if you simply said to your mighty members to check their spams. They will do it (We all do it) and as long as you donā€™t send to much mail it will be fine.

You are incorrect if you say that Virtualmin is not designed to send receive email.

You are correct if you say that Virtualmin is not designed to send spam.

If this were true, none of us would be able to operate a mail server via Virtualmin. The total email traffic caused by all my clients is quite high. All mail goes through one or other of my Virtualmin and is accepted by mail servers owned by Google and its "brothersā€™.

It is possible to send mail with does not get flagged as spam.

Actually, Virtualmin just helps you manage the software included. It does a nice job out of the box helping you with email though. :wink:

Thatā€™s correct. Virtualmin enables us to manage Postfix and Dovecot: Usermin is designed as a web based email client of Virtualmin.

Certainly therefore Virtualmin is designed to send and recieve email.

Hi my old friend,

First, thank you for citing the content that you think MY PERSONAL CONCEPT is WRONG/RIGHT.

In these issues I really donā€™t want to argue and I stand from the perspective of a user, I simply commented this article just to help others overcome current errors and use the Virtualmin platform better.

Virtualmin is a website and domain hosting control panel that provides the ability to create and manage multiple domains, as well as simplify both automation and tasks. Virtualmin is a Webmin module that allows managing multiple VPS. You can manage Apache, Nginx, PHP, DNS, MySQL, PostgreSQL, mailboxes, FTP, SSH, SSL, Subversion/Git, etc. repositoriesā€¦

My intention above includes and is not limited to the fact that you may misunderstand the words I write, and do not misunderstand that at Virtualmin everything is simple for the technical team, founder, etc. . created it just to send/receive emails.

Suppose, if you are a normal user, you are not interested in any VPS administration scripts to deploy Websrv or replace hosting services and you only need to send/receive emails, will you learn about it? Virtualmin and install it to only send/receive emails?

What I mean is that Virtualminā€™s platform integrates mailsrv services that allow you to configure and use it, but depending on how you configure it and what your needs and goals are, there will be other ways to deploy it. each other.

With the current user error in this article, although the community has suggested ways to fix it, if this is not possible for them, then switching to a service specializing in deploying emailsrv is a completely reasonable choice. . Donā€™t forget that the concept of the platform is only understood by its creators.

The reason I say that is because there will be people who like emailsrv integration and there will also be people who donā€™t. It is possible that you have deployed your system before and the email service integrated on your VPS previously worked very well, but there is no denying that specialized email management services would be much better. times compared to deploying your own email system. There are many factors involved, such as security or denial of service or bruteforce attacks. And I again do not want to argue this aspect.

In short, I just want to help the community fix problems and enjoy using the platform. I affirm that at the present time, no one does better than Virtualminā€™s great team and communityā€¦

Best regards!

I do apologise. I think you and I are saying the same thing in different ways: Virtualmin is a great software to manage the set of servers required to run a shared web hosting service.

Getting off topic me thinks.

test your emails here

First everyone can operate a mail server even if the mail it send goes in the spam. Then any of your clients would check his spams if you would ask them.
Lastly what I said above is just the True (Myself I went in the spams for the very first mail I sent, and I never sent more than 5 per month, everything include, and I already went through site like mail-tester.com ).

But if you prefer advertise company who already lost a dozen of lawsuits and court orders (Even in front of the European Commission: https://www.reuters.com/technology/eu-court-upholds-googles-27-bln-eu-antitrust-fine-2024-09-10/), itā€™s up to you. I will not participate to it (But what I said is the reality, and you can check it on REUTERS);

We can only build a better world if we advertise the truly good alternatives, not by promoting the bad ones (And google is legally in the list of ā€œextremely bad onesā€). :+1:
