I have a request for help from my friends who are technical experts in the area of #email #deliverability. Others can freely skip reading this post. For some reason, I am unable to email some people and organizations from my personal email address rajiv@rajiv. I have no problems emailing the vast majority of people I email with. This problem only impacts my emails to people in certain organizations. This problem has been going on for a few years, long before I implemented DMARC, SPF and DKIM. In fact, the dmarcian service shows that my DMARC, SPF and DKIM are all properly configured. See screenshot: https://dropbox/s/09303ywlm56aaj2/Screenshot%202014-07-28%2020.07.53.png Here are some examples of my email woes: Any emails I send to any email address at The World Economic Forum @weforum.org never reach my intended recipients. The emails dont show up in their spam folders either. In fact, when some WEF employees received an email from me to their personal (gmail) address and tried to forward it to their @weforum address, their own emails (containing my forwarded message) never reached their work inboxes! In fact, when I tried forwarding my emails sent from rajiv@rajiv using my @nytimes work email address, those never reached either! I also see this problem when I email folks at Stanford University. When I email a professor friend at his @gsb.stanford.edu address, my emails always get delivered to his spam folder and never his inbox. Worse, when I email him at his @stanford.edu address, my email just disappears, and doesnt even reaches his spam folder. Since Stanford Graduate School of Business is migrating away from the @gsb.stanford.edu email suffix to just @stanford.edu, I wont be able to email my friends there at all. A Stanford professor friend wrote to me: You are the only person I have this trouble with. I got (when I clicked on your e-mail in the spam folder) a message at the top in yellow that said something like, be careful, this e-mail may not be from who it says it is from or something to that effect. Since this problems impacts more than one recipient domain, Im not sure if my trying to reach the email admins at these domains will help much. Ive asked my contacts at these organizations to request their IT folks to look into this, but we have had no luck yet. I signed up senderscore.org (a free service from Return Path, Inc.) and it seems to show that all is fine with my rajiv domain. I checked on I checked on debouncer that monitors 121 blacklists and it reported that rajiv is not blacklisted. My rajiv emails are hosted on Google Apps (gmail for a custom domain).
