From GWIA Logs, what is the full text of the error message?

Have the recipients' checked their junk folders to see if the messages
are there?

Have you used this domain for sending email previously? If so where
from?
Does this domain have any SPF or related records set? If so does this
outgoing IP match those records?
Check the public IP address the GWIA is going out on against the black
lists: http://rbls.org/

We just encountered the same problem with Yahoo and AOL. They apparently require DKIM which GroupWise 2014 does not support.
This will be a growing problem. Does anyone have a 3rd party solution that they can share?

Do you have any of the DKIM or SPF records in DNS for your Domain?
I have been able to send from a GroupWise system to both a GMail account
and one hosted by Yahoo (my home ISP uses them) and they went through
just fine even though this GroupWise system doesn't have any DKIM bits
setup, but does have a valid SPF record. Perhaps just having a valid
SPF record will help.
I find it very surprising that they are blocking just by the lack of any
DKIM bits in place, but it would make sense if parts got setup up for it
such as the DNS publishing of the keys when there isn't yet a place to
put them in GroupWise.

Now having GroupWise be able to send DKIM signed messages would be
great, and we have a way of letting the developers know it is wanted by
voting on it at

as for a 3rd party tool, take a look at what you do for antispam as some
of those systems have the hooks in them.

Andy,
How do I go about establishing a SPF record in my GroupWise 2014 system?

These are DNS records. You can create an SPF pretty easily with tools like this - http://www.spfwizard.net

Once you've created the record, then you must create a DNS record based on the entry it gives you.

One important note about SPF. While many (most) sites will not block you because you don't have an SPF, once you DO create one, you must keep it up to date. While only a few sites will block you for not having one at all, many sites will block you if the SPF records are incorrect or incomplete.
