Messages dispatched from our cPanel accounts and from Mailgun land in spam folders across Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and other major providers. It seems that the domain has been blacklisted causing these issues. Current state • DKIM and DMARC are already live on the domain, but SPF has not yet been tuned. • We only check our domain reputation from time to time, so we may be missing recent blacklist hits or negative signals. What I need from you 1. Pinpoint the exact technical reasons our mail is being filtered to spam. 2. Walk my developers through the fixes in real time—DNS record adjustments, Mailgun settings, header cleanup, list-hygiene recommendations, whatever is required. 3. Verify success with test sends and reporting tools (Google Postmaster, Mail-Tester, MXToolbox, etc.) until mail consistently reaches the primary inbox at the big three providers. 4. Setup an email deliverability log to know which emails are being sent and their deliverability - whether it went to the spam or inbox. If we can know when it was opened is even better. Acceptance criteria • SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all aligned and passing. • No critical blocklist listings. • Live tests show 90%+ inbox placement for Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo. You must be able to jump in immediately, communicate clearly in English, and stay on the call or chat while we implement each change. Once the issue is fully resolved, I will release a single fixed-price payment at your local market rate.

Hi, I can see the hidden issue here: this isn’t just a blacklist problem , it’s usually a mix of SPF misalignment, poor sender reputation, and inconsistent authentication signals across cPanel and Mailgun. I’ll help you isolate the exact cause, then walk your team through the fixes live so we can get your domain back into the primary inbox. I’ve handled deliverability troubleshooting across Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo, including DNS alignment, Mailgun configuration, header cleanup, and reputation recovery. I’ll review SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment, inspect blacklist and reputation signals, verify sending headers, and set up a deliverability log so you can track sent mail, spam/inbox placement, and open activity where possible. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. We can start immediately, and I’ll stay with you through testing until the results are stable. Can you confirm whether you want the deliverability log implemented inside your existing PHP/cPanel stack, or as a separate reporting dashboard with Mailgun webhooks and tracking pixels? Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Best regards, Asad

The fact that both cPanel and Mailgun are landing in spam points to SPF, DKIM, or DMARC being missing or misaligned on your sending domain. I would audit your DNS records, fix the sending domain configuration in Mailgun, and verify deliverability against Gmail and Outlook. Can start today and have it resolved within 24 hours.

When emails start landing in spam across Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo at the same time, the problem is usually deeper than just “bad sending.” It normally means the domain trust and authentication alignment are already damaged somewhere in the setup. I’ve worked on email deliverability fixes where domains had blacklist issues, poor inbox placement, SPF alignment problems, Mailgun misconfigurations, and reputation damage that caused emails to fail even with DKIM and DMARC already enabled. The goal here is to repair domain trust properly so your emails consistently reach the primary inbox instead of temporarily patching the symptoms. I’ll help identify the exact deliverability issues, review SPF/DKIM/DMARC alignment, check Mailgun and cPanel configurations, audit headers and DNS records, monitor blacklist status, and guide your developers live while fixes are implemented. I’ll also help set up tracking and deliverability logging so you can monitor inbox placement, opens, and sending health moving forward. I can help map the whole thing out from DNS cleanup to authentication alignment, reputation recovery, inbox testing, monitoring setup, and ongoing deliverability checks so the system stays stable long term. Quick question though, approximately how many emails are being sent daily right now, and are the spam issues affecting both transactional and outreach emails equally?
