Test Outgoing Email Server with Some of the “Best Practices”

While searching the greylisting topic about email delivery problem, I find the “All About Spam” web site offers an outgoing email server test page.  It’s a useful tool to learn about your email server compliance; and its report also provides the information on what you can do to make your email not been blocked by the recipient email server.

All About Spam Email Server Test Page can test your outgoing email server with the following technologies/RFC compliance:

1. HELO Greeting
2. Reverse DNS
3. DNSBL (RBL)
4. SPF
5. Domain Keys
6. SPAMAssassin Content Checks
7. BATV (Bounce Address Tag Validation)
8. Greylisting
9. URIBL

Testing Process

1. Send an Email to test@allaboutspam.com
2. That email will bounce with a URL in the bounce message.
3. Either click on the URL or Copy/paste the URL in a browser.
4. You will see report on your Email Server.
