In Response To: Re: Rule of 3 Stuff (JeBr0nie)


: Nice write-up, Wu!

: One thing, though: I get lots of HTML-formatted messages from xbox, and until
: the beta e-mail, none of them went into the spam/junk-email folder.

: I heard that it wasn't due to HTML-format, but instead due to how Microsoft
: sent an email from a server without the proper DNS configuration,
: verifying that it is legitimate ... that's why some ISPs trashed the email
: entirely and others put it in the spam/junk folder.

: Am I wrong with this?

There are millions of reasons why automatic spam filters kill messages - this can certainly be part of it. (We use Spam Assassin here; it assigns values to various components of an email, and then adds up all the values; an email will get trashed by the server without delivery if the total exceeds a preset value. That value is set by the person administering that copy of Spam Assassin (and that person can also change the weighting for the various components) - so there's really no way to tell what will cause a message to be trashed by a particular server.
