- techsupporter 10y agoSend legitimate e-mails to people you know on those services. Ask them to mark those e-mails as trusted / not spam. Make sure they reply to at least a few. I've been running my own e-mail server for years. I have DKIM, SPF, PTR, and everything else set up and my e-mail domains and IP addresses are many years old. Every so often, Gmail still decides to spam-bin me for a week or so.
- bensbox 10y agoIt takes some time, but even with small amounts it will eventually work out. I started to send requests for whitelisting my ip to the technical support emails as well and some MTAs even have forms for that. Keep running it! The net was made for decentralised services. I think it will even be in 2020 worth it.
- lucb1e 10y agoSame for me, I'm just one person. After a while you've mailed enough hotmail users that hotmail will accept it as non-spam. Google is trickier, they can get away with a lot more because (even when I explain why it happens) people assume I'm doing something wrong when it's google that configured their spamfilter. Eventually though, gmail will typically accept email from home IP addresses. Google apps for business seems to be even trickier than that: they have an opt-in strict setting which blacklists (outright rejects) anything remotely suspicious. It'll tell you where you stand through delivery failures, but it also means you'll end up having to call whomever you're trying to reach.
