I am basically trying to make it so the email I send from my domain through web mail is not marked as spam or spoof. This is so as I want a profile picture to appear and not be blocked by the '?' mark in Gmail.
I have already added a CNAME through Google Postmasters, and it has been 48 hours.

We have bought the google apps account for the domain www.amarramesh.com hosted by bluehost.com
As per the google apps suggestion, we altered the CNAME records in bluehost for the domain www.amarramesh.com to sync with google apps.
There is an issue when I send the mail through a PHP file stored in my Bluehost server. I tested the email quality through mail-tester.com and it says the DKIM signature is not valid because in the DKIM signature selector = "default" and suggests I should change to "google.domainkey". Due to this, many of the emails sent from the server are going into people's spam boxes. How do I make this change? This problem doesn't happen when email is sent from Gmail.
I have tried Php-mailer and it worked for some time but Bluehost has now blocked it.
Why do you want to send mail from another host if you're using GoogleApps?
DKIM's purpose is to allow remote hosts to authenticate that your mail was really sent by the server(s) you permit to send them. This prevents a spammer from forging your domain name on spam he is sending out. If it wasn't bounced off of servers you authorized in your DKIM DNS record, remote mail servers won't deliver it -- or maybe send it to the spam folder (provided they look at the DKIM header and DNS record).
It does this by putting a private key encrypted header on the mail, and the public key to decrypt it on the DNS record. If it can be decrypted successfully, then it is assumed to be legit (because the sender knew the private key).
This might help if you want to enable mail being sent from both hosts.

since a few days our internal email info#ourdomain.com seems to go bananas and sends out emails to all sort of email addresses. Some of those emails bounce and we receive Mail Delivery Failed emails every minute.
Here is our setup:
Domain hosted at Germany's 1und1 provider
Nameserver configured on Amazon Route 53
MX server mx01.kundenserver.de and mx00.kundenserver.de
Rails application hosted on heroku
I called the support at 1und1 and they told me to set a SPF record which I did:
"v=spf1 a mx ~all"
after researching the topic via http://www.spf-record.de/
Unfortunately this did not resolve the problem.
Honestly I am cluesless now what to do to prevent this random email sending.
Our account could have been hacked but the password was already changed.
Any of your email account or script/code compromise can cause outgoing spam emails. If outgoing emails are originating from particular email account and you find large outgoing email account from particular email account, you should consider to reset the password of that email account immediately. Also, compromised email sending script/code can can cause outgoing spam.
If "from" email address on spam email is none of your existing account then "From" email address is getting authenticated from any of your existing email account for which you should inspect SMTP logs of mail server(you should have administrative access of mail server)
Mail server IP address should not be blacklisted,please check IP here :- http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
If IP address is blacklisted, you can request IP whitelist after you identify and fix the outgoing spam source as RBL keeps IP address blacklisted until they find the spamming activity relaxed.
SPF and PTR record should be correct so that email recipient server can trust the sender mail server.
Bounce back email and spam email header can help to identify the issue more preciously.
This happened to me before, I had a "refer a friend" feature on my website and someone use an automated script to send emails to a ton of people. My server wasn't comprised, it was just bad coding in the feature that I installed that allowed my mail server to send mail to different people on my behalf.
Since the email is coming from you, your SPF/DKIM will check out just fine.
So thing about all the points on your website that can send email and see if any of them can be compromised.
Also you'll want to do a blacklist scan, I use this service it does more then 200+ blacklist: https://www.unlocktheinbox.com/blacklist/bl/
Make sure you scan both your domain name and IP address. But before you take any action to remove yourself, you should wait 24 hours until after you fix the exploit on your system. Requesting removal and popping up again can get you permanently listed.
Everything I have tried failed. I cannot send from my vps to hotmail inbox folder.
SPF and DKIM are set and working

You can see email full headers here http://pastebin.com/CSnFrn6L
Gmail, yahoo, yandex, godaddy and other major email providers accept my emails at inbox
I am on JMRP and SNDS
I have tried many types of content. Plaint text, html, valid content emails
I got that IP a few days ago. It was blacklisted my hotmail.
I asked them to remove the ban but the junk remained which is almost the same to me.
I do not want to use another service like mailchimp or smtp servers.
I do not want to "train" for months hotmail to see that my mails are not spam and loose $$$ in the process.
I have used twice this form support.live.com / eform.aspx?productKey=edfsmsbl3&ct=eformts
but I am pretty sure that the answers are given by a bot
What can i Do more to get to the inbox of my clients?
If I get a new IP am I going to fall on the same dread road?
I am building an app that incorporates Postmark App's Incoming Email capability to keep a threaded list of replies to an email. Their documentation suggests adding the post ID to the reply-to address - for example reply+POSTID#domain.com. However, when I attempt to use this method with cPanel, the emails are bounced back.
I have reply#domain.com set up, without adding the post ID the email is forwarded to the Postmark App inbox address, adding the ID breaks it. Is there any way to do this in a WHM/cPanel environment? It is a VPS account so I have full access if there is another way to tackle this.
Are the messages bounced back from Postmark or is it a cpanel error? I can probably help you out there! Do you have an MX record setup for Inbound via http://developer.postmarkapp.com/developer-inbound-mx.html ? Once you have that going Postmark will accept messages from any address on that domain and parse off the addresses with + chars in them. Are we sure cpanel can handle email addresses with special characters?
I signed up with Google apps standard edition for one of my domain names say example.com. I setup the emails like contact#example.com - and using the Google Email client and loggin as user contact - if I send emails to users - they arrive in their inbox.
But when I send it through my php script running on my hosting account where I have registered the domain example.com - using the same email address contact#example.com - it ends up in the Spam folder - I've noticed this in both yahoo and gmail accounts
Any tips on how to prevent this from happening.
Thanks
Does the computer you are sending the email from have a reverse PTR record? Jeff has a great post up today detailing the necessity of having one.
Another option is to just use one of the cloud based email providers. Some suggestions:

Also make sure that the IP address you are using for email hasn't been black listed: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx.
