The War Against Spam

More people are finding that email they send, is being blocked and returned these days. This is usually because the receiving email server has identified the email as spam, often incorrectly.

This part of the collateral damage in the spam war. In the last month there has been an increase in number of emails blocked as they have been indentified (correctly or incorrectly) as spam. As email companies implement new and varied methods of spam filtering emails that normally went through in the past are being blocked.

This is happening recently with hotmail.com and yahoo.com mail servers, but many others are blocking legitimate email believing it's spam.

To troubleshoot we need to look at specific cases (ie. unable to send email to Company XYZ) and need to see the actual error messages that are returned to the sender.

More coming soon.....
