[HELP] Ubuntu Smtp - mig4ng - 10-30-2013
Hey,
I'm trying to setup smtp on my ubuntu machine to use it for users confirmation emails, I succeed one time, but gmail kept sending my emails to spam, does anyone know how to correcly setup ubuntus smtp with my own domain name?

It's not uncommon for confirmation emails to go to spam, they'll pass the filter after a certain number of people read + click a link inside.

Ensure that your server uses a valid domain with proper DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC). This helps establish your domain's legitimacy.
Set up a reverse DNS (rDNS) record for your server's IP address. This associates your IP with your domain, improving trustworthiness.
Consider using a static IP address instead of a dynamic one. Dynamic IPs are often associated with spam.
Implement Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) to authenticate your emails. These technologies help verify that emails sent from your domain are legitimate.
Configure Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) to specify how email receivers should handle messages that fail authentication.
Configure your server to identify itself properly with a meaningful HELO/EHLO banner.
If possible, use a dedicated IP address solely for sending emails. This can prevent issues if other users on the same IP engage in spammy behavior.
Ensure that your server is not an open relay, as this could be exploited by spammers.
If your users are sending emails through your server, ensure proper authentication to prevent misuse.
Implement encryption using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to secure email transmission.
