A message I sent to an external (off-campus) address was bounced as spam, or was filtered and not received by the intended recipient. Why?
Many organizations implement spam firewall systems similar to the CFAES Spam Firewall. In addition, many end users have their own spam filtering software and techniques. Your message could have been blocked by either the remote spam firewall or the recipient’s spam blocking software. Ask the recipient to have your address whitelisted so that you can communicate freely in the future. In addition, you may want to take steps to help prevent your email from being classified as spam by any system.
