Email delivery/spam problems for accounts on a VPS

I have a VPS with several different accounts on it. Most are mine, but a few are for some clients that I work with. One client has come to me saying his outgoing emails are getting spam flagged. We ran a mail test on it and the most pressing errors it came back with are shown below.

1) We didn't find a server A Record behind your hostname xx.xxx.xxx.xxx.static.yourdomain.com

2) No rDNS is configured for his domain name (but it is for the main VPS)

3) Relay HELO'd using suspicious hostname Split IP

Since this is a shared server is there any way to fix these? I can assign his account a dedicated IP address but is that all that would be required?

Many thanks for any suggestions.

    The suggestion is to fix the errors which were listed. Either assign an IP so the client can configure their mail server properly themselves (it becomes their problem); force them to use one managed by you (i.e. relay to your server); or tell them you don't support sending mail from the VPS at all and make them use an external service.

    If the client is setting up a mail server, they will still need to configure it properly (e.g. SPF records for the sending domains) and mail from the IP will still be flagged if it has a poor reputation.

    Not some , most probably all of them. But if we start using Google for everything then what's the purpose of this forum at all? 🙄

    Discussion without needed to ask everyting or something already discussed here.. Maybe 2 or 3 new "UNIQUE" or "QUALITY" discussion within one month is a good start..
