Hello MailCow community,
I have set up my mailserver a few weeks ago, and it is working pretty fine.
I am using this mail server to create my professional email address, and does not engage in bulk mail sending.
However, I am facing this issue where my mails are ending up being spam every time I sent a mail to a new gmail address.
Here are some of the logs from different services.
mail server - mail.adityarajgor.com
mail domain - adityarajgor.com
A new mail that passes all the checks yet got flagged as spam

Further, I have reached out to my VPS provider to assist me with this, because the IP of my mail server was listed on UCEPROTECT, and they responded with the following.
We understand and share your concern regarding the listing of your IP address (and our ASN) with UCEPROTECT. After further research, we have determined that UCEPROTECT is not reputable, so we will not be paying for delisting from their service.
I am new to running a mail server and just got everything done within a few weeks. Any help would be helpful, and let me know if you are facing the similar issue.
Regards,
Adi
