Ok so PTR sorted
SPF records sorted for all bar one domain...
Now interesting this SPF thing it's a new one for me ...
How do I make my server check it for incoming mail. Is there a section in
the documentation or a useful howto that someone can point me to
Regards
Hill

Hi
Thanks for your assistance so far
I was unsure about posting the domain names but here they are
The server is mail.ruyter.co.uk
The virtuals are
Septimal.co.uk
Skepsys.co.uk
Wandella.co.uk
It did occur to me while I was mulling the problem that the PTR might not be
sent as I changed ISP and neglected to set that up. I have now raised a
ticket to have the PTR set to mail.ruyter.co.uk.
I will investigate the other things you mention
Hill

Firstly you could not mask the domain names in your post, but anyway:
contact Hotmail. It's the only option you have. Their filters are well
known for "blackholing" messages, instead of rejecting them.
There are other things you could do, like:
- make sure you have a valid PTR record in place for the IP addresses
being used
- consider creating an appropriate SPF record for your domains
- reject, rather than bounce, failed messages
- ...lots of other things...
Unfortunately there is no way of knowing whether or not this will
improve your domains deliverability.
