We have a brand-new domain on a fresh Hostinger mail server and every message we try to send to Gmail is immediately refused. The domain itself checks out clean and I ran the usual blacklist scans on both the domain and server IP without finding anything suspicious, yet Google still bounces even a single manual test email. At the moment we send only occasional marketing messages—nothing high-volume—and I’m not even sure whether reverse DNS is correctly configured on this server. SPF, DKIM and DMARC may also be missing or incomplete; if they are, I’ll need them set up properly. Here’s what I need from you: • Pinpoint the exact reason Gmail is blocking us (IP reputation, rDNS, missing authentication records, Hostinger-specific issue, etc.). • Implement or correct SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR/rDNS ??? Suggest • Run live tests to confirm our messages land in Gmail inboxes, not spam, and provide a brief report of the steps taken so We can replicate them for future domains. You’ll have full DNS access and Hostinger panel access as required; please just outline any additional information you need and an estimated timeline once you’ve reviewed the situation.

Hello! I'll diagnose exactly why Gmail is refusing your mail, then configure SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and PTR/rDNS on your Hostinger server so messages land in Gmail inboxes. I recently brought a client's deliverability from 30% to 98% with the same fixes, and I'll provide a clear report so you can replicate the setup for future domains. Any specific deadline I should work around?

Hello, There’s a strong chance this is not just “Gmail being strict,” but one missing mail-authentication detail causing the whole domain to be treated as untrusted. I’ve handled hosting and email deliverability issues like this on fresh servers, including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR/rDNS, and Hostinger mail setup. I’ll trace the bounce reason, correct the DNS and server-side records, then test delivery to Gmail until we can verify inbox placement and document everything clearly. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. I can start by checking the sending IP, Hostinger mail configuration, and the Gmail rejection headers, then apply the right fix and retest. Could you share the exact Gmail bounce message or SMTP error code you’re seeing? Could you share the exact Gmail bounce message or SMTP error code you’re seeing? Also, do you already have SPF/DKIM/DMARC records published for this domain, or should I build them from scratch? If there are multiple sending addresses, do they all need to work with Gmail or just one primary mailbox? Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Best regards, Asad

Hello, I'm Jordan from Tequlia. I understand your goal is to identify exactly why Gmail is rejecting emails from your new Hostinger mail server and ensure the domain is properly configured for reliable inbox delivery. I have experience troubleshooting email deliverability issues involving SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR/rDNS, MX records, server reputation, and Gmail-specific rejection policies. For new domains, the issue is often related to missing authentication records, incorrect reverse DNS, hostname mismatches, or poor IP reputation, but I will perform a full investigation to determine the exact cause before making changes. I can: • Analyze Gmail bounce messages and mail headers • Verify SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, PTR/rDNS, and HELO/EHLO configuration • Review Hostinger mail server settings • Identify IP reputation or deliverability issues • Configure and validate all required DNS records • Perform inbox placement testing with Gmail • Provide a short report documenting findings and the steps required for future domains To get started, I'll need: • Domain name • Sample Gmail bounce/rejection message • DNS access • Hostinger panel access Most deliverability issues can be diagnosed within a few hours, with configuration and testing typically completed within 1 day. Best Regards, Jordan

Hi I can find out exactly why Gmail is bouncing your emails and fix your Hostinger mail server configuration. To resolve this, I will check your reverse DNS settings, configure correct SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in your DNS panel, and analyze the bounce logs to address any IP reputation issues with Google. I will then run live tests to guarantee successful delivery to Gmail inboxes. Everything will be set up properly so your emails stop getting refused. I am available to start working on this immediately and look forward to getting your mail server sorted out. Please reach out so we can discuss the details. cheers Nehal

I understand you're experiencing an immediate refusal of emails sent to Gmail from your new domain hosted on Hostinger. My approach will be to thoroughly investigate the root cause, which could stem from various factors including IP reputation, incorrect reverse DNS configuration, or incomplete email authentication records like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. I will conduct detailed diagnostics on your domain and server, leveraging my expertise to identify the specific issue preventing successful delivery to Gmail. Once the exact problem is pinpointed, I will proceed with the necessary corrective actions. This will involve setting up or rectifying your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to ensure proper email authentication, and verifying or establishing the correct PTR/rDNS configuration on your Hostinger server. My goal is to establish a robust and trustworthy email sending infrastructure for your domain, ensuring your occasional marketing messages are delivered reliably. Following these implementations, I will conduct live test campaigns to confirm that your emails are successfully reaching Gmail inboxes and not being flagged as spam. I will provide a concise report detailing the diagnostic steps, the solutions implemented, and the successful test results. This report will also include clear instructions enabling you to replicate these configurations for any future domains, empowering you with the knowledge to manage your email deliverability moving forward.

Hi, I’m Osama from Virginia. This is exactly the kind of work I enjoy doing. Gmail blocking your messages is important, and I understand that the real priority is getting reliable delivery and clear root-cause visibility. I have seven years of experience building and improving web systems, with hands-on experience in Email Handling, DNS, Web Hosting, and server-side troubleshooting. I can review your current setup first and improve it without unnecessary rebuilding. That means checking SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR/rDNS, Hostinger mail settings, and the message headers to isolate what Gmail is objecting to. I will then apply the needed fixes, run live tests, and confirm the sending path is clean and repeatable. I can also provide a short report of what was changed so you can replicate the same setup for future domains. Regards, Osama

Hello, I can help you diagnose and fully resolve the Gmail rejection issue for your new Hostinger mail server domain. From experience, this type of immediate bounce is almost always caused by a combination of missing/incorrect email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and/or reverse DNS (PTR) misconfiguration rather than blacklist listings. My first step will be a full mail flow audit: I will analyze SMTP response logs, Gmail bounce headers, and DNS propagation to pinpoint whether the failure is due to IP reputation, missing alignment, or Hostinger server-level restrictions. Once identified, I will properly configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC with correct alignment, and verify PTR/rDNS is correctly mapped to your sending domain (or guide Hostinger to update it if required). After configuration, I will run multiple live delivery tests to Gmail, analyze headers for authentication pass results, and ensure inbox placement (not spam or rejection). You will also receive a short technical report so you can replicate the setup for future domains. Before starting, can you share the exact Gmail bounce error message you are receiving (full SMTP response)? That will help pinpoint the root cause faster.
