Rick,
Just recently I had about 25% of our email newsletter distribution refused
by a SPAM gateway at a local ISP. What I did was contact them and work with
them to see what was setting the filter off. As of today we are still
working on this to resolve as some emails have gone through, but, yet the
latest has not. One of the things that we have done is to post the
newsletters online. I also contacted each individual member and asked them
to respond to their ISP and request clarification about the SPAM filtering
going on. Try to make sure that your members have your email address in
their address book as some filtering looks at this as a sort of approved
"white list" and a known sender. This typically happens with filtering on
the local machine.
Hope this information helps
Kevin
