I had some problem with my mailgun-sent emails being marked as spam. But I was only using the free plan, since I only send 25 mails a week or so. I didn't have any problems with DKIM, though, or SPF. My problem was having to use a shared IP (part of the free plan) and sometimes getting an IP that was in one of the spam blacklists. I'd add that https://www.mail-tester.com/ https://www.mail-tester.com/ was INCREDIBLY useful when I was trying to diagnose problems.

Do you have to pay for the static ip to get around this or is just putting in a credit card sufficient?

  you're going to need to buy the IP from whoever you're sending with or ask to be put on a warmed up IP shared with other legit senders.

  All DNS issues I thought I wouldn't have because I'm on google apps, but I never checked. Fixed now.

    I got a 9/10 sending from a Google Apps account because there is one blacklist that has a Google IP in it! Apparently even Google's servers get blacklisted.

Wow. Thanks to that tool, I just found out that my employer's new domain name is on a blacklist. Whoops.

I just tested my email system and 10/10 so there is not much more that I can do. The problem is that I am losing a certain percentage of emails (~2 to 3%) to customers in a completely non-deterministic manner. Microsoft is the worst offender, but it happens with yahoo and gmail too. I am beginning to think that filters have a randomization factor in them just to drive me insane.
