I am beginning to suspect that, if you're doing everything right in terms of configuration and whatnot, your only remaining option is basically to ask everyone you send mail to to check their spam folder and explicitly mark you as wanted, solicited mail. Google's spam AI system just gets it wrong too often these days, and you're basically without recourse if you don't have any weight to throw around. You're certainly not the only one; http://jacquesmattheij.com/ham-or-spam-gmail-not-to-be-trusted-for-important-mail And I've seen similar unreliability with the accounts we have for testing and the like. Gmail isn't the only one either, we're seeing mail disappear within Hotmail's infrastructure as well, and it's pretty much impossible to get them to acknowledge this as a problem. I would however have another look at your DNS configuration. Here's the relevant header; == Received: from zed.grinta.net (grinta.net [109.74.203.128]) by english-breakfast.cloud9.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id ABBED330874 for <postfix-users@postfix.org>; Sun, 26 Jul 2015 12:16:38 -0400 (EDT) == That's already a mismatch that might be throwing them off, triggering some kind of classification error. Pick a hostname, not a domain name, and stick to that for everything. One (1) hostname that matches every which way you might slice it. So instead of this; == $ host 109.74.203.128 128.203.74.109.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer grinta.net. == $ host grinta.net grinta.net has address 109.74.203.128 grinta.net mail is handled by 10 smtp.grinta.net. == $ host smtp.grinta.net smtp.grinta.net is an alias for grinta.net. grinta.net has address 109.74.203.128 grinta.net mail is handled by 10 smtp.grinta.net. == $ host zed.grinta.net zed.grinta.net is an alias for grinta.net. grinta.net has address 109.74.203.128 grinta.net mail is handled by 10 smtp.grinta.net. == Make everything 'zed.grinta.net', forward and reverse, including your MX record, and create CNAME records for your convenience, such as mail client configuration. If you need an A apex record, just create that separately, don't use it for sending mail. HTH, Joni
