Question sent email spam

I recently set up a new shared hosting account. When I send email from my Surpass email (testing to my Yahoo email), Yahoo dumps it into the "Bulk" mail folder.

I searched the forums here and couldn't find much (other than the AOL blacklisting issue, and a lot on Spam Assassin).

I also searched the internet a bit and have seen it mentioned that Surpass mail servers are often flagged as spam-senders.

So far, I've been pretty happy with the way things here are laid out (minus a few learning-curve hiccups). But I can't have my email being dumped into Bulk/Junk email folders.

Is there something I can change in my cPanel to alleviate this? Or are there some docs/threads that I missed?

Thank you

Not really.

What you need is to see what SPAM rules your email is violating.

send one to me -- sales / at / mybrainhost <dot> com

Thanks!

I checked through gmail also... seems OK there. I guess Yahoo is kinda picky.

As for SPF records, I'm not quite sure how to go about that since Yahoo domains is the DNS host. I'll have to go poke around there and see if I can find something. But I haven't seen anything yet.

Email Blacklist Check - See if your server is blacklisted

Shouldn't have any issues unless something comes up here.

Yea Yahoo! can be a bum sometimes. Usually when email has like 2 or more links in it...it bulks it.
