Hi All
So I have a strange problem.
I have Iredmail set up and working perfectly. I have correctly configured DNS records – MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC are all good. If I send a test email to https://www.mail-tester.com I get a 10/10. I can send emails to Gmail no problem. My public IP does not have any reputation issues and is not on any blacklists.
But – If I send emails to any user on Microsoft 365, they almost always end up in the Junk Mail folder. I have looked at the headers and according to MS, they have a Spam Confidence Level or either 5 or 6, but there is nothing to explain WHY they have an SCL this high. This is a big problem from me as many of my users will want to send emails to MS 365 addresses. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks in advance.
