Hey Guys, Hotmail and many other servers no longer bounce based on CF X-Mailers. I run a mass-mailing server on my coldfusion app and don't get bounced and we send thousands of e-mails to hotmail every week.
Try sending the e-mail to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : it's a spam assassin tool that will return a report with any issues, It may help you clean up your wording and Subject line. Getting through spam filters is becoming increasingly hard. Also look at putting spf tags in your dns entries. The SPF and Caller ID specs have now merged into one spec and will soon be standardised. Here's some tools to help you create the records. The Microsoft one has the new version incorporated already (v2) so I suggest using that wizard. Then paste the created string into your TXT record in your DNS records.

Very frustrating. I've stripped the email back content wise for testing purposes to a very basic email with no links or anything 'potentially nasty' and it still sent me to the junk. Running out of options it seems :| Any more thoughts/suggestions?

You can change the mailer ID by doing something like this: <CFMAIL TO="..." ... MAILERID="Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.3416"> ... </CFMAIL> It will be as if the email was sent from Outlook... bye!
