I’m using System.Net.Mail to send out a few emails. The emails are being sent by our internal mail server to local addresses. However all of the messages are going straight to junk in Outlook. The messages are being sent from valid email addresses. What would be causing our our servers to label it as junk?

MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
msg.Subject = subject;
msg.Body = body;
msg.From = new MailAddress(from);
msg.To.Add(to);
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server, 25);
client.Send(msg);

    I’ve seen this happen a lot when the outgoing SMTP is sending directly versus relaying off your official (set in DNS) mail server. The normal rule causing this is that your SMTP sending IP does not match the IP of your domains SMTP address.

    Example:

    Your domain’s outgoing mail server smtp.domain.com = 10.1.1.1

    System.Net.Mail uses IP address of the server running the code = 10.1.1.100

    Since they don’t match, it gets flagged as SPAM. If you can relay off your mail server, this will probably solve you problem. If you can’t, you can use Group Policy to set a rule in Outlook saying all email from your domain is SAFE. Only helpful when the machines are on your network, external users will still see it get marked as SPAM.
