Subject: [exim] Exim4.66 sending all my emails to bulk, spam,junk
Hi all,

Still having the same problem, Yahoo is getting mails from my server in Bulk
(now I am getting the message "majidkhan59@??? R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp defer (0): SMTP
error from remote mail server after initial connection: host e.mx.mail.yahoo.com [216.39.53.1]: 421 Message from
(72.91.193.6) temporarily deferred - 4.16.50.
Please refer to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/defer/defer-06.html" )

and when I send email to hotmail it gets delivered from my mail server but I can't get it into my mailbox neither in
Inobx nor in Junk or anywhere.

Following are the things which I have done.

1) I have changed my mail server name to mailhub.webstarts.com from mail.webstarts.info.
2) IP is 72.91.193.6 when I do the reversedns it gives mailhub.webstarts.com which is Ok now.
3) I am using PHP script to authenticate with the Exim server and send email, for authentication I have created
an account on Exim as info@???. webstarts.info has MX which is pointing to mailhub.webstarts.com.
4) The PHP script is on another server and it communicates with my mail server successfully but all my mails as I said above is going into Bulk or Junk folder.
5) My IP is not listed in DNSBL or RBL.

Following is my Yahoo Bulk email's headers:
