UKMOC email Spam problems with Hotmail

18-06-2011, 09:42 AM

Think I might have to swap UKMOC email back again after changing to my (easier to get to over the net at work

) Hotmail account....

Hotmail INSISTS MOC emails are Spam, I've added the address to my White List, told it the emails are not junk, added the whole domain as a contact - nothing seems to work - always comes into my 'Junk' folder.

Any ideas guys?

Cheers - Frank

Hi Frank.

To be honest, i would junk the Hotmail account and go get a G-Mail (Googlemail) account instead mate.
I use Googlemail to send pretty big files to Switzerland each week, so that is also a bonus.

I have a mate who has worked for BT for years and if they are caught with Hotmail on their laptops, it's instant dismissal, apparently Hotmail attracts a lot of crap, spam etc.

Just my 2p's worth.

email Hotmail admin and complain bitterly, mention G-Mail as a potential solution to further wind up Microsoft Admins.

I also found your trackday email in my mac.com junk section this week Rob. You've now been saved as non junk!

Yeah, I guess I'm officially a spammer as I emailed over 4000 people.
I guess it got black holed by a lot of mail systems.
I only got 25 'unsubscribe please' back, now if I could get another 25 trackday bookings I could stop worrying about the mahoosive hole in my finances, since I now have to pay up with two weeks to go and only about four grand in the hole.
Sorry for the hijack Frank.

Yeah i've just come here to post about this so i'll add it here instead.

It's because the forum is sending without a valid from address attached.

Forum admins: If you want me to help you out then just send me a message or email to the account on.. my account

.

I'm a techy bloke at a web design firm so do this day in, day out

p.s. slob i've finally realised what your avatar is a picture of

This has been going on a lot on a paraglider forum as well, seems Hotmail have some holes in their security.

It's not hotmail's fault - it's the forum not setup correctly.
