My normal mail gets caught as spam
This can be very annoying - because of the way spam filters work a small percentage of normal mail will get incorrectly identified as spam. Here are some tips to help avoid this:
1. See How do spam filters work? - that will give you examples of certain words / phrases to avoid.
2. Make your subject lines meaningful - emails with no subject line or one that does not catch the eye are more likely to be deleted by people who are sorting through volumes of junk mail.
3. Use plain text emails - some spam filters negatively score HTML emails.
4. Avoid CAPS - upper case is considered s-h-o-u-t-i-n-g and is often used by spammers so may score negatively.
5. Do not use local SMTP mail server software - some people install SMTP servers on their own machines but usually the IP addresses used by normal dialup / broadband connections are not setup with the correct DNS entries to be a SMTP server. See: Use a better SMTP mail relay service for more details.
