If there are too many links in the email, for example, it seems that the email never arrives.

I would do some research on the network you're sending your messages from. It's not uncommon for major providers to blacklist virtually all unknown/dynamic hosts. Likewise, you may want to spend some time on optimizing the actual content of your email. From experience, HTML that validates helps quiet a bit! Jake, this stuff is black art.

I also added a more strict spf and now my email gets to hotmail and yahoo. Although it goes to spam folders on both.... any ideas?

I have a rDNS record setup as well as an spf record. I am only using sendmail for outgoing. I also tried to add my railsuser to the trusted users and enable that feature, but it does not seem to be working. I still get teh x-auth warning header. Any ideas?
