Question How to prevent mail from being marked as spam with Google and other mail services?

Alan_SP

Basic Pleskian
I got my mail marked as spam with Google, by using Xenforo forum on my new domain.

So I went and checked this things:

SPF record:

I set it like this: v=spf1 +a +mx +a:my.server.com -all

DKIM:

I enabled it for server (globally), then for each domain I have.

DMARC:

Enabled it for incoming mail, but also added DNS record (for each domain): _dmarc.domain.tld. TXT v=DMARC1; p=none

I also checked for reverse DNS, it resolves to my server (by using intodns).

Is there more what I should do? I use it for registration mail for xenforo forum and similar forum related mail. Please advise.
 
Thanks, used that mail tester, with test email I received 7.5/10, and everything considered, it's a good score. Domain is new, in a way it looks to be the biggest problem. But will continue to check mail status of domain.

Alan 7.5 is not very good... Try to reach 9/10 minimum. Give all information here from what you have got as results in mailer then I could give more advises.
