add ip of different server for 'spf' in dns setting.
Correct TXT records, MX records and check that the IP isn't on a spamdb.
I recommend iredmail as an email server as it's quick install and simple user panel make it very easy to use.
mailcow ?
If you have an MTA (like Postfix, etc.) on the web server, you can configure it to relay mail to another SMTP server. (A quick Google search for configuring Postfix as a relay will get you some results.)
Applications using PHP, etc. can be configured to connect directly to other SMTP servers for delivery as well. Thereby eliminating the need for an MTA to be installed on the web server. (For example, WordPress allows one to hook via a plugin the mail delivery and specify SMTP credentials.)
As others have mentioned, valid SPF records are a must for Google and Microsoft (and many others, as well).
Another shit. Keep asking
@tommy, I finally see what you mean about this guy! Lots of different threads with little to no interaction from him.
yep, you can make a kb of 'em
Honestly, if you want proper delivery I would purchase an SMTP (sendgrid.com) or mail service (mxroute.com).
