all mails sent end up in yahoo/gmail SPAM folder

You can play around with inet_interfaces in /etc/postfix/main.cf (don't forget to restart Postfix after changes).

seems like inet_interfaces affect INCOMING emails...

my problem is with outgoing connections:

eg if i do a:
telnet remoteexample.com 25
> helo remoteexample.com

i get something like:
250 remoteexample.com Hello [203.81.39.41], pleased to meet you

seems like it is an OS or networking issue...

the question is that if i have multiple IP addresses in my server, when i connect outwords (whatever the service - mail/ftp etc, does it mean that the smallest ip address will always be seen by the remote server?)

thanks

I had a similar problem some weeks ago. Postfix is using the last IP that is configured in your network configuration, not the first as one might guess. The solution is to enter this directive to your postfix main.cf and restart postfix:

smtp_bind_address = 192.168.0.1

Of course replace the IP with the correct one

this seems to work...
however even my "correct" ipaddress 203.81.39.42 is used:
yahoo and hotmail are still treating the email as SPAM...

what else can i do?
check with yahoo?
or my ISP?

i was assigned this ip address (unused until now) since 2 years ago - it is unlikely that the IP address has been involved in any spamming activity

Nevertheless I'd check the known spam blacklists.
Also make sure you have proper PTR and SPF records for your domain. And it might not be a bad idea to ask Yahoo why this happens.

any idea where to get in contact with yahoo? my IP seems to be on their blacklist too.

nevermind I found their contact form:
