I received a bounce back message saying “The MECnet email filters are blocking this message which received 7.6 SPAM points.” What does this mean?
Each email message is scanned and suspected spam is tagged. These tags are then used to filter messages. The software used to identify spam (junk mail) uses a wide range of tests to determine whether a particular email is considered junk. Each test has an associated score, and each message will usually match multiple tests. The total score is then calculated, and this score can then be used to reject a message. Emails that have a rating score higher than 6 are rejected. You can help insure that your messages are not rejected by avoiding some of the most common factors that trigger the filter: using HTML in the body of your message FREQUENT USE OF CAPITAL LETTERS Frequent use of the exclamation mark!!!!!!!!
