Mails coming from artix forum flagged as spam

22 June 2025, 12:11:25

Hello,

Today i received an email from the artix forum, to tell me i received a private messsage.
However, i almost didnt see it. the mail went into my spam folder

i looked at it and found 2 issues :
- mail is sent from ip 185.181.63.104, but the SPF of artixlinux.org says only ipv4:ip4:89.58.2.222
- artixlinux.org has a DMARC with "quarantine" policy, but the email is not signed with DKIM

At the end, mail is sent in spam because the DMARC policy enforces SPF and DKIM, which can not be checked successfully.
Maybe other artix users did receive an email from the forum but didn't see it because of thie configuration.

i think it should be worth checking and fixing the config

thanks

Thanks for the report, I'll have a look at it tomorrow because one does not simply mess with MX settings past midnight.

Alright, not sure why you got unsigned DKIM email, mxtoolbox shows all greens. I did add the forum IP to SPF anyway.
