I m facing a problem with hotmail. Emails send to hotmail account from my system (web application using Send Mail) go to its junk mail folder, which should not happen. It should actually go to Inbox. The default setting in my hotmail account of "Junk EMail Filter" is "Enhanced". If i change it to "Low" the mail will go to inbox as it only traps obvious junk emails n not others. But we can't tell the users to change this setting. So pls help me a way out in this ASAP...
Thanks.........

Hi guys,
In general it's not secret that built-in to Outlook 2003 anti-spam solution from MS is very simple and even stupid. There are a lot of articles in internet about how to avoid this junk mail filter. Keeping in mind how long guys from MS do updates for their product the best way is to buy (or find free) anti-spam product from independent companies - usually they are more flexible and faster.
I would recommend to use Spam Reader http://www.spam-reader.com. Also you can look at Spam Bully and Inboxer.
Good Luck!

I have the same problem of 'wanted' mail going to junk folder. The problem is, it is an email to all employees. Some people are getting it in the inbox, others in junk mail. All have the same settings for junk mail (level low). Why some and not others???

It depends on the email program, but most "learn" from the email that people recieve. Since not everyone receives the same email, the filters will be slightly different for each user.

It would be great if the filter -- or if the outlook application would tell WHY any particular piece of mail was sent to the junk mail filter -- then it would be easier to troubleshoot junkmail filter problems -- is this possible with outlook?
The filter already must be deciding upon what condition in the email caused it to be rejected so why can't the filter tell us what that is so we can write an appropriate rule to fix the problem?

As Ted points out. It'd be nice to know WHY the junk email filter has picked a piece of email as junk.
We have the settings at LOW but a simple SMTP email with a subject and 1 sentence in the body is being sent to the junk email folder after the last round of automatic updates.
It caused a production outage as people were waiting for the email but I can't figure out why it was trapped. I'm also not in a position to go to everyone's machine and get them to choose 'accept from this sender'. The sender can change over time. *sighs*
Is there any tool to analyse an email item and show what rule is catching it?
