Thank you for this information It took me a few months of hard work but I have successfully gotten my dedicated IP off all the blacklist it was on when I purchased it using your advise.
I was reminded of this today when I received my first feedback were a registered user reported his birthday Email as spam I was able to promptly go and Ban him to assure he never received another.

Im glad to see that many large email providers have joined forces and release a new email identification system. This open standard for email will have a major impact on the way email can be sent.

See: http://www.dmarc.org/
Google, Facebook AOL, Microsatan, Yahoo, Paypal, and other major companies are involved.

Best thing that you can do to prepare for this is to get your SPF and DKIM configured. Its likely that all major email providers are already modifying their systems to check incoming email for SPF and DKIM.

Just a heads up that our vBMail Lite mod can be used to help comply with spam regulations, including an unsubscribe link and automatic removal of bounced addresses.

I just received my first gmail bounced email with this content:

Code:

550-5.7.1 [x.x.x.x      12] Our system has detected that this message is

550-5.7.1 likely unsolicited mail. To reduce the amount of spam sent to Gmail,

550-5.7.1 this message has been blocked. Please visit

550-5.7.1 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=188131 for

550 5.7.1 more information. fm4si16129174wib.68 - gsmtp

It's thread subscription notifying user about new posts in thread, and AFAIK, all other emails passed so far.

I checked SPF, there is TXT (no SPF) record in DNS and it's so for years. Is there possibility is a fluke, or there could be further problems? And what to do in case further mails get stopped?

Great article! I am a commbull user, and have wondered about these aspects of a newsletter. I will be modifying my template to reflect some of the points.

I only send out my newsletter to active members. One nice feature of commbull is the ability to limit it to active member within a specified time. I limit it to 180 days. This probably covers the bad email address problem mentioned.

Is there any way of determining if you have been blacklisted? With my active members, I only send out about 12-1500 emails. Is that a lot or a minor blip?

Thanks!
