hi, i am a ~6 month linoder but this is the first post

i realize some weird thing about hotmail,

i have multi accounts on some domain and everything is ok with the domain, spf etc...

an account could send email directly to hotmail inbox but others could not, i opened a ticket to linode and they said that everything seems to be normal.

I was using squirrelmail for all of the accounts.
I just noticed that one account has html message turned on, others not. I do not know hotmails mechanisms but this seems silly to me, when i send html mail it goes to inbox, when i send text mail it goes junk or terribly it doesnt appear in hotmail.

Anyway, i just wanna share my experience

yay, ive been trying for hours to do this and you saved my bacon.

Cheers m8 much appreciated for sharing this with the community

Any idea why this happens or what might be causing the problem on text based emails? I had the same problem with squirrelmail. Also Yahoo exhibits the same spam filtering as hotmail with plain text.

Why would plain-text cause such a problem?? Could it be to do with postfix, spamassassing or amavis-new etc?

No problem man

i have been trying for weeks

I have the same issue, I don't receive any emails in my hotmail inbox(of course , when sent from my linode), text emails. This worked fine, I don't know what could be the issue here.

probably spf/sidF problem. Hotmail got heavy ways of blocking emails.
