We try to respond quickly to each comment but, unfortunately, we need a bit more information in order to give you an accurate and complete answer. In short, there can be many reasons why messages are filtered automatically into junk mailboxes. As you probably know, ISPs use advanced anti-spam filters which “check” a wide variety of issues, such as message content, URLs, mailing list spam-traps, if your email address was blacklisted, or got too many complaints. Your message was undoubtedly flagged as SPAM because for some of these reasons − which we know are very general. For now, please take a look at the articles below on email marketing best practices. We hope it will help solve your problem. If not, please let us know and, if possible, provide more details about your flagged emails. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/basics/postmaster-15.html http://postmaster.aol.com/guidelines/bulksenderbp.html GetResponse Team Dear Harley,
