How to whitelist your server mail

Whitelisting your server's mail server is a process of adding your server's IP address or domain to a list of trusted senders, so that emails sent from your server are not flagged as spam or blocked by email providers. Here are the general steps to whitelist your server's mail server:

Step 1: Check your email provider's spam filters

• Check your email provider's spam filters to see if they have a whitelist or approved senders list.
• Look for settings or options to add your server's IP address or domain to the whitelist.

Step 2: Add your server's IP address to the whitelist

• If your email provider has a whitelist, add your server's IP address to the list.
• You can usually find your server's IP address by checking your server's configuration or contacting your hosting provider.

Step 3: Add your domain to the whitelist

• If your email provider has a domain-based whitelist, add your domain (e.g. example.com) to the list.
• This will allow emails sent from your domain to be trusted and not flagged as spam.

Step 4: Check with other email providers

• If you're sending emails to recipients who use other email providers (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook), you may need to whitelist your server's IP address or domain with those providers as well.
• Check the email provider's documentation or contact their support team to find out how to whitelist your server.

Step 5: Monitor your email delivery

• After whitelisting your server, monitor your email delivery to ensure that emails are being delivered successfully.
• Check your email logs or analytics to see if there are any issues with email delivery.

Additional tips

• Make sure your server's mail server is configured correctly and is sending emails with a valid SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record.
• Consider implementing DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) to authenticate your emails and help prevent spam.
• Keep your server's IP address and domain up to date, as changes may affect email delivery.

Here are some specific instructions for popular email providers:

• Gmail: Add your server's IP address to the Gmail Whitelist.
• Yahoo: Add your server's IP address to the Yahoo Whitelist.
• Outlook: Add your server's IP address to the Outlook Whitelist.
• Microsoft 365: Add your server's IP address to the Microsoft 365 Whitelist.

Remember to check the documentation for your specific email provider or hosting provider for more detailed instructions on whitelisting your server's mail server.
