We''re having a terrible problem with sending email using sendmail and
rails.
We believe we have everything set up correctly. (I''ve changed the
domain name below because this is so embarrassing ). Our mail config
looks like
ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :sendmail
ActionMailer::Base.sendmail_settings = {
:location => ''/usr/sbin/sendmail'',
:arguments => ''-i -t -f
support-xf4iMgCPw8ZBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org''
}
our notifications look like
@from = "oursite
<support-xf4iMgCPw8ZBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org>"
headers "Reply-to" =>
"support-xf4iMgCPw8ZBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org"
and we have an SPF record that resolves back to your one and only
server. EMails are making it into gmail, fine, no problem, but are
getting flagged as spam in Yahoo and are not even making it into
Hotmail (which is crazy because my old hotmail account has around
2000+ new messages in the inbox 99% of which are spam, and 11 in the
spam folder, 2 of which are legit).
This may be off topic but I''m just stumped, and I''m not smart
enough
to work this out on my own. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to
get this working or an alternative method (we''re using Slicehost for
hosting if that make a difference).
Thanks in advance
Dale

Be sure to have your hosting provider set it up. There''s a link I tried to find that lists the top ten reasons why this can happen - that was one I didn''t know about. Google may turn it up.
