I've put together a few smallish sites for clients which include online
forms. Their day-to-day email is managed away from the web server (usually
by email forwarding at the domain host) and the php scripts process the
forms as usual and squirt out emails to relevant form owners and visitors
alike.
Now, here's the problem - a lot of these emails are being flagged as spam,
presumably because the spam guards are doing a reverse DNS lookup on the
domain name and discovering that the MX records are located elsewhere.
Is there anything I can do about this? I'm hesitant to create another MX
record for the web server, as this seems to be the wrong way to go about
solving the problem (indeed, it could create even more). I have a vague
recollection, however, of a setting in the DNS that might address the
issue - registering a web server as a valid mail sender while at the same
time not identifying it as an MX host.
Any thoughts/advice gratefully received!
