Problems with spam, SPF, PTR

If you are getting tons of spam return-messages (like Failure Notification or Mailer Daemon)...THIS IS SPOOF

Partial solution: Enable Default Address and set every catchall to :fail: no such address here. This will stop you from getting the bounce-backs, but the real problem is not solved.
Full solution: You need to create an SPF record. An SPF record is an entry added to the DNS zones for a domain. This record verifies that a user has permission to send mail from that domain. This is used to prevent spoofing for your domain. You may contact us to be sure you have a working SPF record.



If your outgoing email keeps arriving in Spam and Junk folders (like at Yahoo or Hotmail) instead of the Inbox...

You need a dedicated server and then create an SPF record and PTR record for your domain. These records improve your reputation with other mail providers.
Please order a dedicated server and then email support@overlineindia.net to request "a PTR record and an SPF record be added" to your domain.

Note: PTR will require a dedicated server.
