It seems that delivery is a problem, a lot of emails end up in the "promotion" folder of Gmail or in the spam folder.

I ordered a "Private IP" on ElasticEmail to see if it can improve things.

Just for the records, I may have to set up something at the DNS level.

Your request has been processed successfully. View the current Sender Score and MX ToolBox blacklist report on your Private IP screen. Optionally create an A record in your DNS that points to 162.254.227.133. Example - mta.yourdomain.com A 162.254.227.133. Once configured and propagated please contact support so we can configure the custom rDNS in our system.
