Why Is My Emails Getting As Spam?
Check above things.
First we need to check Email Headers.
1. Return Path
2. To
3. From
4. We should not use CAPS because not only being unprofessional, but it
also triggers spam filters. To land in the Spam folder consistently,
please do not USE ALL CAPS IN THE SUBJECT LINE AND THE BODY FROM TO and
Excessive punctuation (e.g. -/, ;^%#$@+ * "').
E.g. as follows.
1. Email "From : ADMIN ENROLL <noreply@exmaple.com>" getting
spam in gmail.com sometimes and if we not change it will increasing
count.
2. Email "From: noreply@exmaple.com" it
getting in mailbox, check the CAPS deference.

To diagnose the mail. Why its going in Spam.
Check tool:

Here you can check following points
1. Mxlookup : For your domain and ip
2. Blacklist : For your IP
3. Diagnostics : SMTP Diagnostics, check your mail server
4. Analyze Headers : Check your mail headers.
5. SPF Records : Check your Sender Policy Framework
7. DNS Lookup : Check your Domain lookup.
If you check above all things your mail will not go in Spam.!

Fast up Httpd
The Apache’s configuration file is located at “/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf” in a cPanel server
Timeout
This directive “Timeout” is used to define the amount of time Apache will wait for a GET, POST, PUT request and ACKs on transmissions before automatically disconnect when idle time exceeds this value. The ideal value will be 120 in heavily loaded servers. It is recommended to set this value lower if your clients have low latencies. Some time, setting this directive to a low value may pause problem, this highly depend on your network and server setup. The best is to experiment with different values to find the one that fit your need.
KeepAlive
This directive “KeepAlive” if set to “On”, enables persistent connections on the web server. For better performance, it’s recommended to set this option to “On” and allow more than one request per connection.
MaxKeepAliveRequests
This directive is used to define the number of requests allowed per connection when the KeepAlive option above is set to “On”. When the value of this option is set to “0″ then unlimited requests are allowed on the server. For server performance, it’s recommended to allow unlimited requests.
KeepAliveTimeout
This directive is used to define how much time, in seconds, Apache will wait for a subsequent request before closing the connection. Once a request has been received, the timeout value specified by the “Timeout” directive applies. The value of “10″ seconds is a good average for server performance. This value should be kept low as the socket will be idle for extended periods otherwise.
MaxClients
This directive is used to define the limit on the number of child processes that will be created to serve requests. The default means that up to 512 HTTP requests can be handled concurrently. This is an important tuning parameter regarding the performance of the Apache web server. For high load operation, a value of “512″ is recommended. For standard use, you can set the value to “256″.
MinSpareServers
This directive is used to define the minimum number of idle child server processes that should be created. An idle process is one which is not handling a request. If there are fewer than “MinSpareServers” idle, then the parent process creates new children at a maximum rate of 1 per second. The idle value is 10
MaxSpareServer
This directive is used to define the maximum number of idle child server processes that should be created. If there are more than “MaxSpareServers” idle child processes, then the parent process will kill off the excess processes and these extra processes will be terminated.The idle value is 15.
MaxRequestsPerChild
This option “MaxRequestsPerChild” is used to define the number of requests that an individual child server process will handle. Set this directive to “0″ to get the maximum performance and scalability for the server.
HostnameLookups
This directive if set to “Off”, specifies to disable DNS lookups. It’s recommended to set this option to “Off” in order to avoid latency to every request, to save the network traffic time, and to improve the performance of your Apache web server.

cpanel exim limit spam
Hello,
The following cPanel/Exim configuration will help you stopping spam in the server.
1. Login to WHM control panel
2. Goto Main >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Manager
3. Enable RBL filtering by Basic Editor >> RBLs >> switch to “On” and if you like you may additional RBL from manage option.
4. Enable Sender Verification by Mail >> Sender Verification >> “On” this will check if the mail origin really exists.
5. Reject SPF failures by ACL Options >> Reject SPF failures >> “On” this will verify SPF records and if the SPF record is set to fails then the E-mails from those IPs will be rejected.
6. Home >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings
7. Turn “Initial default/catch-all forwarder destination” to “fail” this will fail the catch all feature to be sent to default cPanel account.
8. “Set Max hourly emails per domain” which will limit the E-mail flooding from the server(I normally set it to 70 which is good enough for a single domain for an hour).
9. Set “Maximum percentage of failed or deferred messages a domain may send per hour” everyone knows that Spam E-mails will have alot of non existing E-mail which will then be deferred so If we set this to say 50% the spamming E-mail account will be suspended temporarily if the deferred mails are above 50%.
10. Then save all the configuration this will stop most of spams in the server.
