I use different mailboxes for each ring I ringmaster. Some Hotmail. One accont
is reciving spam so today I activated the spamfilter and set it to put spam in
the special spamfolder. (You can set Hotmail spamfilter to put spam in
spamfolder or instantly delete the mail)
I deleted 3 members from the ring. The ringmaster mail-copy's sent to my
Hotmail mailbox for all 3 was put in the spamfolder.
I have noticed that new sites sometimes are registred twice by WM using
Hotmail. About 4-5 times in my rings the last 2-3 weeks. I think, beliving
there was an error, they registered again, as they did not recive the
welcomeletter, if they had spamfilter set to delete spam.
Has also noticed that if mail-delivery-error (host unknown, no account etc) and
the ringlink mail is returned as attachment; Outlook Express removs access to
the attachment (= mail sent from ringlink) as not safe. (You can retrieve the
attachment by clicking on Forward Message.) I have scaned (Panda anivirus
program, updated today) the fils. They are clean. But OE thinks they are
unsafe.
Can it be someting in the mail-header, that makes Hotmail think it is spam and
OE that it is unsafe?
I notice that in the mail-header Return-Path, From and Sender is not the same:
From: ringmaster@xxxx
Sender: adminemail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Return-Path: my_accont_name@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (not my domain)
This puts all mail-delivery-error in my catch_all_mailbox.
I'm convinced that none of:
my@xxxxxxx (one of Swedens top-hosts according to computer magazines) =
'Return-Path' in the header,
my_own@xxxxxx = 'Sender' in the header - or
my@xxxxxxxxxxx = 'From' in the header
is blacklisted by Hotmail! And certainly not programmed as unsafe in OE.

What?? It makes sense to me that you may encounter such problems if
you register a blacklisted address as e.g. the ringmaster address, but
otherwise...?
Can you provide any further details, Ulf?
