Hello,
I am confused if it is needed / better for preventing emails getting classified as spam to align the mail configuration / hostname of my server. The following headers are extracted from my gmail account and reflect an received email by mydomain.com:
As you can see, I have three different domains involved in sending here: mydomain.com, mail.mydomain.com and plesksub.mydomain.com.
The hostname of the server is: plesksub.mydomain.com. Plesk panel is also at plesksub.mydomain.com:8443.
Would it be better in terms of prevent emails going to spam to change the mail server settings in a way, that the only domain using for handling mails is mydomain.com (f.e. replace plesksub.mydomain.com and mail.mydomain.com with mydomain.com)?
If it does not make sense to align the configuration and I should rather use it as it is:
I am also not sure how to configure spf records. Do I need to configure them for mydomain.com, plesksub.mydomain.com or mail.mydomain.com?
My current spf records:
I am using an external DNS / nameserver.
Thanks for your help.

As you can see, I have three different domains involved in sending here: mydomain.com, mail.mydomain.com and plesksub.mydomain.com.
The hostname of the server is: plesksub.mydomain.com. Plesk panel is also at plesksub.mydomain.com:8443.
Would it be better in terms of prevent emails going to spam to change the mail server settings in a way, that the only domain using for handling mails is mydomain.com (f.e. replace plesksub.mydomain.com and mail.mydomain.com with mydomain.com)?
If it does not make sense to align the configuration and I should rather use it as it is:
I am also not sure how to configure spf records. Do I need to configure them for mydomain.com, plesksub.mydomain.com or mail.mydomain.com?
My current spf records:
Code:
mydomain.com TXT "v=spf1 mx include:mail.mydomain.com ip4:12.34.56.78 -all"
mail.mydomain.com TXT "v=spf1 ip4:12.34.56.78 ~all"
plesksub.mydomain.com TXT ??? (IS CONFIGURATION NEEDED?)
I am using an external DNS / nameserver.
Thanks for your help.
