[dariobl]

Good idea, for a long time i am thinking about starting a YouTube channel with money making tutorials, i could call it : DarioMonetisingVlogs

Very close.

Please visit this site:

For your DNS, add:
"v=spf1 a mx ptr ip4:x.x.x.xx1 ip4:x.x.x.xx2 ip4:x.x.x.xx3 ~all"

Thanks, it worked
But what about the reverse DNS ?
Can I point every IP to my hostname? wouldn't it cause a conflict ??

Just a tip: Host your images on Dropbox public folder. It makes your images load faster and also saves you a lot of bandwidth

[EDIT] Sorry for the double post I didn't notice it...

Thanks, it worked

No problem.

But what about the reverse DNS ?

If you are using the hosting provider or ISP, ask them to add the domain/IP to their rDNS (reverse DNS) based on your list as shown below.

mail01.domain.tdl > x.x.x.xx1
mail02.domain.tdl > x.x.x.xx2
mail03.domain.tdl > x.x.x.xx3

Can I point every IP to my hostname? wouldn't it cause a conflict ??

Mail and web services are separated. No need to be concerned.

Always test ..by sending email from webmail or your server to yahoo/google/hotmail to make sure that DKIM/SPF records are acceptable (look inside the header message).

Thank you! I'm going to try that right now. But then I need to make A records right? Just to make sure.

My host control panel allow me to change the rDNS whenever I want to

One tip: I'm using this website: mail-tester.com and it is awesome, it checks for SPF and DKIM records and also checks your spamassassin score

Numping an old thread to see if it's still working. Last I saw people were still having problems getting blacklisted

One question I still have is, how do you go about "spamming" for a legitimate business without them tracing the domain in your body-text or something? Wouldn't URL Shortening rape your inbox rate? What I'm trying to do is build-up the user-base on our legitimate site (we're a web start-up.) Most importantly, I'm targeting professionals within my niche and encouraging them to sign-up on our service for free, upload content so they can get traffic back to their own sites (while populating mine.) So I need to be able to blast between 5k-20k targeted emails per day and somehow lead these people to our legit business site without getting the domain's reputation shitted on.

gives me error of : iptables v1.4.21: statistic: option "--every" also requires "--packet"
