Email delivery: Gmail & Hotmail

  1. Why is it that when I use AMAZON SES or a Gmail account, I get my emails delivered to my work address but not to any Gmail or Hotmail account?
  2. When I use a personal SMTP server emails get delivered to both my work address and Gmail account without any problem.

I’d rather stick with something like Mailgun.

Or if you want to go with your own SMTP server, make sure you have a clean IP address, and properly set up SPF+DKIM records on your domain.
