Re: Own Public DNS Server

From my understanding, the fact that mail doesn't get through to some
servers doesn't mean they categorize it as spam but simply the fact that
there is no "certificate" that indicates its true origin. Maybe I'm wrong in
my understanding but, my issue is not really spam. Please let me know if
this information matches with your understanding.

Your issue is that your email is being blocked as spam or other.

There are two cases for other people blocking your emails sent to them:

1) Your IP/ISP is on a public block list or is listed as a Dynamic IP

2) You don't have a proper public DNS A/C/MX record for your sending
domain name.

As an example, I could set my server to send from APPLE.COM and it would
mostly be rejected as my sending IP does not resolve to any APPLE.COM
address spaces and certainly I can't create A/C/MX records for that
domain name pointing back to my public IP.

As for IP/ISP on block lists, or you being on a listed Dynamic IP, well,
you need to search the block lists sites and see if your IP shows up on
them.
