E-mail delivery test

FullThrottle83

Hi,
~~I got contacted that my outgoing emails were not being recieved.~~

But I fixed SPF, DKIM, DMARC for the noreply-address and now I get this:

mail-tester

What score do you get?
I tested with https://www.mail-tester.com/

There's a good chance that your email host and everything is configured correctly, but misconfigured in Flarum itself.
Can you give us information about how your emails are configured in Flarum and omit sensitive information?

FullThrottle83

KBExit It's fixed. Was more a tip for people to check theirs to ensure deliverance 🙂

Lol, your post got me thinking something was wrong.
That's good!
You mind sharing what your email architecture is configured as for those that are interested or having issues? So they can follow a recipe that does work?

FullThrottle83 I also have a 10/10, but many users with Microsoft emails (@outlook.com and @hotmail.com) often don't receive emails.
Emails don't end up in spam, they don't arrive...
No problem with other email addresses.

mafesa outlook is just horrible honestly. Walled Garden. I almost feel like it's their pettiness that you're not in our system that they make it so difficult.

KBExit Yes of course.

The Stack
Provider: MXRoute (cheap & Great IP reputation for transactional emails).
DNS Manager: Cloudflare.
Application: Flarum (v2.0 beta).

DNS Configuration, I set up all three authentication methods in Cloudflare:
SPF: v=spf1 include:mxlogin.com -all (Strict enforcement).
DKIM: Copied the key directly from the MXRoute panel (DirectAdmin).
DMARC: v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:admin@mydomain.com (I start with none to monitor, will switch to quarantine later).

Flarum SMTP Settings
Driver: SMTP
Host: heracles.mxrouting.net (Use your provider's specific hostname here, not mail.yourdomain.com).
Port: 587
Encryption: TLS
Username/From: noreply@mydomain.com

mafesa Yeah, that will be the real trial.
I've wrestled more than once with Outlook. Was making email signatures in html, and it was always MS that was the stop block.

Thanks @FullThrottle83
Now I'm using this DMARC:
DMARC: v=DMARC1; p=none; adkim=r; aspf=r;

I'll follow your suggestion to see if the emails arrive on Outlook too.
