If a customer is using a PC-based mail client such as Outlook or Outlook Express, a copy of the original spam message must be forwarded as an attachment. For additional information on how to send an email as an attachment Outlook users should read: http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp/contentredirect.asp?sprt_cid=cef769eb-03d5-4761-8937-72af60292daa . If a customer is using Cox’s webmail, open the email and simply click the “forward” button. Too bad they don't actually tell you what about your message triggered the spam rejection in the first place.  Maybe you will get some more details about what actually tripped the filter and blocked the message by sending your message to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". willhill wrote: I tried to send an email. The email only contained text. The text Cox objected to was "http://my_homebox_IP_number/" Was the "To:" field in your email "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" or to a DNS-registered name, eg "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" Note that I just sent a similar message via my cox account (through smtp.east.cox.net) to my yahoo account with no problem.
