Mark - you're a legend! Thanks everyone for your input. Tried the spamassasin and I scored 0.3 because of no real name in the from field. 5 points makes your email spam so that wasn't the problem.
But implementing what mark suggested below fixed the problem. And for the record so did changing the hotmail filter level to low but I had to use default as this is testing for an 'average user'. So all good, hotmail is happy, users are happy, I'm happy :) Cheers, Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Stanton Sent: Wednesday, 22 September 2004 4:38 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Hotmail Junkmail filter What version of CF are you running? I think 6.1 fixed some issues but in general CFMAIL doesn't behave very well according to the email specs. Spam filters pick up on this and treat its mail as spam. We've had similar issues with SpamAssassin, but fortunately it tells you what is wrong with each email. Here are somethings we found that helped: <cfmail from='"#mailoutSender#" <#mailoutSenderEmail#>' to="#memberEmail#" subject="#mailoutSubject#" type="HTML"> <cfmailparam name="Message-Id" value="<#createUUID()[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"> <cfmailparam name="MIME-Version" value="1.0"> <cfmailparam name="Reply-To" value="#get_mailout.mailoutSenderEmail#"> The extra stuff in the from= attribute covers SpamAssassin catching you out on the email coming from an email address only - not a real name and an email. The cfmailparam thingos are required mail headers that cfmail doesn't include by default. Have a look at these pages to find out more about these headers: Message-Id & Reply-To - http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html - section 3.6 Mime-Version - http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html section 4.
