Many mail servers require sender to be registered in "reverse DNS". Look: web@dimss:~$ host gw gw.solutions.lv has address 159.148.92.164 web@dimss:~$ host 159.148.92.164 164.92.148.159.in-addr.arpa is an alias for 164.nite.lv.92.148.159.in-addr.arpa. 164.nite.lv.92.148.159.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer gw.solutions.lv. web@dimss:~$ Here 159.148.92.164 is mapped to gw.solutions.lv in "reverse zone". Ask your provider to add record like this for your IP-address. -- I am a viral sig. Please copy me and help me spread.
