I am using sendmail as smtp on a redhat server. problem is whenever I send mails to yahoo/hotmail, it goes to the bulk/junk folder.

Initially I thought this was due to lack of Reverse DNS delegation for the server's public ip address, but it did'nt disappear even after enabling reverse dns.

The hostname for the server is entered correctly in this format.

mail.mydomain.com 127.0.0.1

The server has a private ip which is NATed on the router and ports 25/110 are forwaded to the same server.

What could be the problem?
