Description

*/**********************
This seems like a lot of crap for the first part but PLEASE READ IT or we will ignore your bids:

This is the third time i post this into this website, 2 programmers tha bid on my project couldn't finish the task and now simply dont contact me. I NEED THIS FOR YESTERDAY!
Please, if you are not sure you cannot finish the task dont BID!

We need someone that stays online a lot, that talks to us on msn or google talk or whatever, and that finishes the job. If we like your job we will keep in touch and pay you every time we need your help!
Keep this in mind because we will accept the bid of the person that says that makes it the faster and the cheaper. future projects will come and you will earn more! We need this ready fast and we dont care how you do it.
*/**********************

So, lets get to the point:
We are a european company that sends e-mails to our own databases to promote events, djs and so on, our 1st mail server is so overloaded that we need to say NO to coustomers and we are losing clients. We have a new server that has the following already installed:

SO - CentOS

Apache Webserver
BIND DNS Server
Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server
MySQL Database Server
Postfix Mail Server
PostgreSQL Database Server
ProFTPD Server
Procmail Mail Filter
Read User Mail
SSH Server
Squid Proxy Server
Virtualmin Virtual Servers (GPL)

And we have the latest version of OEMPRO installed to send the mails, newsletters and so on.

Ok now we have SMTP on one domain and we need to have that smtp server working with other domains on the same machine, we send a lot of e-mails and if we have the chanse of having more than one smtp it helps.
The main problem:
The server is ready, it sends e-mails by smtp but they go out AS SPAM! They cant!! We dont spam, we are a legal company in europe! We need someone to fix this, ASAP! every single mail we send to test mails like Gmail, yahoo, hotmail and so on, they all come as spam.
After reading a lot i figured out that the problem may be related to the nameservers or the MX records. hope you figure it out fast. You may also have to probably check the nameservers if they are correct because the last programmer tried to make the server an inside nameserver and that's a bit mess'd up. If you make a nameserver test to our domains we get some errors so...
If this is not the problem we dont care just fix it.
We want to avoid using external smtp, we have a good server and we want to use it. if others can setup and sell smtp's so can we.
I dont know if we need some kind of license or whatever, you find out and tell us.

Im sory if my description is too big but we cannot aford a third fail, the server is almost stopped waiting to start working for 5 months, its a dedicated server and we are losing money every single second and losing clients.

So, PLEASE REMEMBER, bid if you KNOW you can do it, if you know you do it fast like in a couple of hours, and if after that you want to keep in touch for future stuff or even maintence and help us.
OUR MAIL CANNOT go out as spam!
We really need a LEET guy to work on this with us.
If you get it really fast you get a 15$ bonus
