I hope this is the correct place to report this, but zabbix.com emails are coming from IP 81.171.84.52, which has no reverse IP DNS entry assigned. Many SMTP servers (including mine, as well as AOL) either reject or mark as spam emails that come from such servers.
that ip doen't has a PTR, and neither the mail.zabbix.com that is stated at the mx record.
My servers do that too...
for clarification:

I'm aware of this problem, it's shame it is still not fixed. For some reason we cannot do it quickly...
