UKMOC email Spam problems with Hotmail
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. G ; ) |

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.
