    Greetings,

    I am trying to send email via coldfusion's cfmail.

    My problem is when I send an HTML email (type="html") as opposed to plain text, I keep tripping hotmail spam filters.

    I am just wondering if this is a common problem and if you have any suggestions how to fix it?

    Is this something I have to live with or are there ways to avoid tripping the filter?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Sincerely,
    Travis Walters

    There are ways to reduce the chance, make sure your from is set correctly and genuinely, make sure the from domain matches one registered to the mail server, multipart get through better than pure html (and is better practice anyway for those that use plain text email clients), get domain key set up to help validate your email (dont know if hotmail check domain keys or not), dont set a reply to on the email
