Yeah, I decided to Test some of my Follow-Up Messages at GR and the new interface !! Well, everyone of them is going to the Spam Bins on ALL Yahoo Adreeses I tried. Hotmail and Gmail worked fine. But Yahoo is not taking them in their regular inbox. Its Spam to them. What the heck is up with this ??
This has NEVER happened before. Its been a few months since I last tested. But it was always fine.

Now this, sheeesh !!

And my Spam Check says 1.90 which is well below the 5 limit.

Any advice or insight would be appreciated concerning this matter !

Thanks,
discrat

    Did you click "not spam"?

    It could be for lots of reasons.

      I am just pulling my hair out now. Everyone of my Campaign follow up messages now goes to Yahoo SPAM bins when I test it.

      I did some tinkering with the 'from field'. For instance, when I took the word 'newsletter' out of the phrase 'Welcome to our Newsletter " and just put 'Welcome' it went through to the correct inbox at Yahoo. Also, I took out 'weight' of the phrase 'losing weight and just left 'losing' and it went thru . But if I left the word 'weight' or 'newsletter' in the phrase it went to the SPAM at Yahoo. This is just two examples among dozen and dozen of others I have had to play with.

      This is insane I cant keep tinkering with words in my follow up messages to see if they go or dont go to Yahoo Spam. This is ridicolous.

      Could this be a glitch on GR part ??
      This never did this before. Anyone else having this problem ??

      Any suggestions ??
      HELP PLEASE

        I don't think this is a problem with GR. I think it is just Yahoo getting
        more aggressive with their spam filters. I have a yahoo email address
        and I have noticed in the last month or so that a lot of the messages I
        usually get from marketers are ending up in my spam folder, but if you do
        a bunch of testing and figure out how to get around their new filters I am
        sure you could make good money marketing that report

        -To your success,

          Thanks Todd, Yeah , after much research and testing today and talking to others I have found that its nothing wrong with GR. Its just like you say Yahoo is getting tougher on Spam. And it can be different from day to day.

          Iam relatively new to email Marketing (nov.08 ) and I am finding that Testing on a routine basis is just part of the job that I have to confront and implement. I gues twice a month routing testing is something I will start doing.

          Thanks again
