As another (very) small-time personal/business server operator, I'm intrigued with the above. I, too, had mail going straight to junk with Gmail and Outlook despite doing my best to be a `good sender' with SPF/DKIM and coming up clean on every blacklist. Many of these already had my address in their contacts, and my domains were many years old. In the end I gave up and used a (hopefully reputable) smart host to handle delivery, as you can probably tell from my headers. This doesn't sit comfortably with me however; if nothing else, my engineer's efficiency itch is not scratched. One can only assume unknown IP reputation from my server (Linode VPS in Australia) is the cause of the above. Whilst I don't necessarily agree with this logic (vanilla rspamd on my own server does a better job of filtering compared with my old Gmail-hosted setup, despite no `assume probably dodgy on first sight' methodology), `your network your rules' does apply of course. Given most small-scale personal/small-business server operators will receive far more mail than they send, is sending out DMARC reports likely to have a positive impact on IP reputation? _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
