All plesk server mail.going to spam

A common issue!

If all emails sent from a Plesk server are going to spam, it's likely due to one or more of the following reasons:

  1. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) issues: SPF helps prevent spammers from sending emails by verifying the authenticity of the sender's IP address. If your SPF record is not set up correctly or is missing, it may lead to emails being flagged as spam.
  2. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) issues: DKIM is another authentication method that helps verify the authenticity of emails. If your DKIM record is not set up correctly or is missing, it may also lead to emails being flagged as spam.
  3. IP reputation: If your server's IP address has a poor reputation due to previous spamming activities, it may be flagged as a spam source.
  4. Email content: If your emails contain spammy keywords, attachments, or formatting, they may be flagged as spam.
  5. Plesk configuration: Plesk has some default settings that may affect email delivery. For example, if the "Sender IP" is not set correctly, it may lead to emails being flagged as spam.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following:

  1. Check and set up SPF and DKIM records: Make sure you have SPF and DKIM records set up correctly for your domain. You can use online tools like SPF Checker and DKIM Checker to verify your records.
  2. Check your IP reputation: Check your server's IP reputation using online tools like IP Reputation Check. If your IP reputation is poor, you may need to take steps to improve it, such as whitelisting your IP address with email providers.
  3. Review your email content: Review your email content to ensure it does not contain spammy keywords, attachments, or formatting.
  4. Check Plesk configuration: Check your Plesk configuration to ensure that the "Sender IP" is set correctly. You can do this by going to "Mail" > "Settings" > "Sender IP" in your Plesk control panel.
  5. Whitelist your IP address: Reach out to your email providers (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook) and ask them to whitelist your server's IP address.
  6. Monitor your email logs: Monitor your email logs to identify any issues or patterns that may be causing emails to be flagged as spam.
  7. Consider using a third-party email service: If you're experiencing persistent issues with email delivery, you may want to consider using a third-party email service like SendGrid or Mailgun, which can help improve your email deliverability.

I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue!
