postfix - PTR OK, SPF, DKIM passed but email messages are marked as Spam by Google?

# host 1.2.3.4
4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mail.domain.vn.

# dig +short txt domain.vn
"v=spf1 a mx ptr -all"

# dig +short txt mail.domain.vn
"v=spf1 a -all"



Here's an email header that is marked as Spam:

My IP address is not listed in Spamhaus's SBL, PBL, XBL.
I can send mail to Yahoo Inbox normally.
Anything else should I check?







UPDATE: Fri May 25 14:35:15 ICT 2012



My IP address used to be listed in the Spamhaus PBL. It sounds like Google update the PBL slower than Yahoo. I have to wait 24-48 hours to see my email going to Gmail Inbox.



Now is another problem: My developer need to rewrite the sender to different domain, ex: noreply@anotherdomain.vn. I've created the SPF record for this one:



$ dig +short txt anotherdomain.vn
"v=spf1 ip4:mail.server.ip.address ~all"



and edited the main.cf to something like this:



/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_sender_restrictions =
permit_sasl_authenticated
permit_mynetworks
check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/sender_access

/etc/postfix/sender_access:

anotherdomain.vn OK


Creating the hash db file, reloading the Postfix and sending a testing mail to Google but it go to Spam:



Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of noreply@anotherdomain.vn designates 1.2.3.4 as permitted sender) client-ip=1.2.3.4;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=pass (google.com: domain of noreply@anotherdomain.vn designates 1.2.3.4 as permitted sender) smtp.mail=noreply@anotherdomain.vn; dkim=pass header.i=@mail.domain.vn


Beneath the subject line, I see this:




mailed-by:   anotherdomain.vn
signed-by: mail.domain.vn


Do I must to configure anything else for anotherdomain.vn?






Reply to @John Gardeniers:




I've generated another key pair for anotherdomain.vn. Edited /etc/opendkim/KeyTable and /etc/opendkim/SigningTable, add the public key to DNS, ... and here's the new header:

The mailed-by and signed-by are already point to the same domain:



mailed-by:   anotherdomain.vn
signed-by: anotherdomain.vn


but it is still flagged as spam by Google.







UPDATE: Sat May 26 13:38:58 ICT 2012



I've 'borrowed' a mail server from different department which is working fine. Belows is the header when sending an email (goes to Inbox):

What surprised me is spf=softfail.







UPDATE: Mon May 28 10:36:06 ICT 2012



I've been trying with another domain which has neither SPF nor OpenDKIM's SigningTable. In the /var/log/maillog I see something like this:



opendkim[22200]: (unknown-jobid): no signing table match for 'noreply@sub.anotherdomain.vn'


There are no signed-by and mailed-by in the 'Show details' section but that email goes to Inbox (both of Google and Yahoo).




I really have no ideas how does the Google spam filter mechanism work.
