hi Gandi, please read this and include it in your TODO list if it makes
sense

with almost any server ive got out there on the internet ive had issues
with the IP address and domain name when using it as a SMTP server,
problems are not from the server or anything but simply because some big
free email providers have shady policies regarding inbound mail to them

simply put, new mail server with SPF, domain keys and even DKIM,
properly configured dns/ptr/server name and everything else, mail DOES
NOT get DELIVERED to yahoo (gets into spam), hotmail (not delivered at
all)etc
what i need to do is engage them via mail to "whitelist" my domain/smtp
ip combination

ive had to do this with a server ive had here too


what you could put on your todo list if its possible and i think it is
(noticed a friend has a server on another provider, i can mention them
if needed, and it worked out of the box for him), is to whitelist the ip
ranges you use for the servers here
i know you may provide SMTP servers for yourselfs but some prefer to run
their own and there are other reasons to do so too

thanks!
