There are no such settings. And as such, this really is off-topic here. You could bring it to SDLU <http://spammers.dontlike.us>, a mailing list for discussion of spam and related issues, and be on topic. (Disclaimer: I am a SDLU moderator.) > > You can't be sure. Ever.

You can follow best practices and possibly improve your chances. First and foremost: do NOT send ANY spam. Send only to confirmed addresses, diligently prune your list of rejects. No repurposing lists; only send what the recipient signed up to get. http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/that-which-we-dont.html is an amusing look at a long list of spammers' excuses. Are yours on it? Bad sign, if so. It means you're doing something wrong. Second: buy your connectivity from a reputable provider which is not listed on any major spam DNSBLs. Look them up at Spamhaus. Do they have longterm unresolved issues? Third: ensure that your sending host has valid FCrDNS (forward- confirmed reverse DNS): your IP address should resolve to $myhostname, which in turn should resolve to your IP address. Fourth: remove yourself from Spamhaus PBL if applicable. Sign up at DNSWL.org's whitelist service. If any of this does not make sense to you, I strongly suggest that you should not send bulk mail directly. Hire an ESP like Sendgrid, Mailchimp, or Constant Contact. They can quickly clean up your list and get mail into the recipient's inbox. Assuming that there is revenue at stake in your sending, spend a bit of it. -- http://rob0.nodns4.us/ -- system administration and consulting Offlist GMX mail is seen only if "/dev/rob0" is in the Subject:
