Emails rejected as spam

Well - Over a month and no reply from the Postmaster.

Ohh - Trebian. My understanding is that100 bccs is not a good idea. Don't get your Gmail account locked! We only use bcc for a small number - 10 or so max.

Much better to use a bulk mailer. Many of them have a free option. We  use Mailchimp but when I get a moment I will investigate some others like SendInBlue or whatever. It also handles the privacy side of things too - people can unsubscribe for example. 

Anyway - best of luck.

I have exactly the same issue. Did you find any resolution?

[RzzB]

No - Postmaster never replied.

I recommended the three people concerned move to Gmail.

Happend again today - simple email to one person. Rejected as spam.

I would also suggest that you contact the recipients or rather non recipients, if using email do it one at a time which they will hopefully receive, and ask them to add your email address to their "Safe Sender" list which can be found in their email settings which are found by logging onto their email account and clicking on their username at the top right then going to "Mail".  

I've been having exactly this problem (or rather the mailchimp user trying to send me genuine email has) and the parargraph here seems to be the key. Many thanks. I'm getting it tested now and will report here if any problems remain. For novices (like me) the steps are:

1. Click on username top right

2. Select Settings from the drop down menu

3. Select Mail from the menu on the left and then Safe senders

This is a nightmare. I’ve lost contact with more than 20 of the members of the Bridge Club I’m treasurer of (including myself). If I can find out how a BT mail user can designate a safe sender address, I can set up a contact list of BT addressees on my BT account and email instructions to them.

Sending emails one at a time or as to, cc target than bcc doesn’t work. Once BT has registered a gmail address as unsafe all emails from that address to BT addresses are undeliverable.

Talk21.com is a BT address. I am also having gmail rejected by plusnet.

Sending emails one at a time or as to, cc rather than bcc doesn’t work. Once BT has registered a gmail address as unsafe all emails from that address to BT addresses are undeliverable.

I’m going to test the safe sender procedure on my BT email, using the BTInternet web interface. If it works I’ll use my BT email to send the procedure to BT recipients in my gmail distribution list.
