Content Filter Blocking Email

Status
Not open for further replies.
The last failure was my fault, I forgot to include the subject.

I will try a few tests to myself to see how easy it is to trigger the spam filters
 
Some of my emails are still being spam blocked, and others either never arrive at my clients or arrive hours late.

It looks like I will need to use another mail server because I cannot do business like this. On MWEB and other servers my emails go through immediately even without a subject. Sorry V3G but Vodacoms email server has become a problem for me.

Your message to:

My emails to clients are now being blocked too. To the best of my knowledge it started 15 mins ago.

Yup. Most of my email goes overseas, so due to timezones etc I won't find out if the email went through until potentially the next day meaning an entire day lost. I am now sending some stuff via my hotmail account.

Hi guys I had this problem in the last week:

'A message from <xxxxxx> to:-> xxxxxxx

was considered unsolicited bulk e-mail (UBE).

Delivery of the email was stopped!'

Now on the one hand, if this had happened a few weeks ago, when I sent a large mailing from a bulk mail service provider in Poland (GetResponse) which has this email as a return address, I would perhaps not have been surprised. BUt I send a maximum of 20 emails from this address per day and NEVER leave out subject etc - I have been on the NET for 15 years and an Internet Marketer for 6 years and actually hate spam filters - I bleieve people should do this job for themselves using their local client.What right do the ISP 'Big Brothers' have to determine which mail I should receive and which I shouldn't? The algorithms cannot work anyway, the abstract is too complex.

This does not alter the fact that my business is now being affected by this silliness. The people I am sending these emails to are friends and associates, and I simply DO NOT send out spam. EVER. Perhaps that fact alone is evidence that the entire spam filtering model is just incompatible with reality.

But right now I need a solution. These emails are being regarded as spam without getting anywhere NEAR the receiver's server - they are being stopped at smtp!

Who can I contact at Vodacom? I find this completely ludicrous.

You can contact me. Please give me all your details, the e-mail in question, etc.

Also the details of the bulk mail that you sent out a while ago.

I'll ask the mail admins to look what's going on.
 
I'm getting this EVERY TIME I send out even single emails from two of my email addresses:

A message from <[email protected]> to:
-> [email protected]

was considered unsolicited bulk e-mail (UBE).

Our internal reference code for your message is 07523-15/WnhyIg4YI4h1

The message carried your return address, so it was either a genuine mail from you, or a sender address was faked and your e-mail address abused by third party, in which case we apologize for undesired notification.

We do try to minimize backscatter for more prominent cases of UBE and for infected mail, but for less obvious cases of UBE some balance between losing genuine mail and sending undesired backscatter is sought, and there can be some collateral damage on both sides.

According to a 'Received:' trace, the message originated at: [41.28.193.173],
Mobile (unknown [41.28.193.173])

I'm an internet marketer and NEVER spam - only send to double opt-ins or people who know me.
This is now affecting my business - cannot send ANY emails from two addresses

The bulk mail was not sent from SA, so I cannot see it's relevance unless SAIX has put the return address on a list. The mail is usually sent to double opt-in members who number about 500, which is tiny as mailing lists go. It is possible that I send out more than 30 emails a day from each address, but consistently over the course of a day.
 
What other details do you want? I'm not going to put my email addresses up here. To send you 'the email in question' would be irrelevant - ANY email from these two addresses comes back.

Thanks

I did not want you to post the details here :) Use the PM (Private Message) function to send details to me.

Got some feedback and it seems your mail triggered the spam filters because it had no content.

I'd suggest you put something in the body when you mail next time as the spam filters get quite anxious if there is nothing in the body itself. It's quite indicative of SPAM, normally.
