Note; you should fix your SPF records, all mails end up in spam.

To add, it looks like my company is blocking the site as malware. Looks like it's on this list: http://cbl.abuseat.org/lookup.cgi?ip=95.85.5.100

> IP Address 95.85.5.100 is listed in the CBL. It appears to be infected with a spam sending trojan, proxy or some other form of botnet.

> It was last detected at 2013-12-05 22:00 GMT (+/- 30 minutes), approximately 20 hours, 30 minutes ago.

> This IP is infected (or NATting for a computer that is infected) with a spam-sending infection. In other words, it's participating in a botnet. If you simply remove the listing without ensuring that the infection is removed (or the NAT secured), it will probably relist again.

Could you possible pastebin me the message headers/mime for the email going to spam? The folks at mailgun would like to have a look at it. Thanks!

I have no clue what the email in question is. I just know the site is being reported as "bad" by: http://www.senderbase.org/lookup/?search_string=www.memofrom...

The warning I get from our network appliance: IP address is either verified as a bot or has misconfigured DNS.

Does it? I checked this with Mailgun yesterday and they told me to send through the API instead of using SMTP. So I did, tested with Gmail today (where it was ending up in spam) and it arrived in the inbox.. I'll check with them again.

You may also want to think about using our validator[1] to check the validity of the email addresses before sending.

Still, if you send through their API you still need to list mailgun.org in your domain's SPF records (because you define ...@memofromsanta.com as the sender).

Their 'Check Records' tool tells me my records are fine. I'm on the chat with them at the moment, trying to figure it out. Thanks.
