Troubleshooting Spam Issues in I-Contact

[wadesgirl]

Anybody else having issues with the spam report using I-Contact? It won't even send a test email to my email address stating that it's likely to be marked as spam. It says that it contains ING which is marked as spam. Does that make any sense to anyone else?

It makes no sense to me and I did a thorough search for "ING" and all I got was the -ing ending of lots of words! I don't know if it's a glitch on iContact's part. What I did was run the spam search, then clicked on the link that took me to other options, and I submitted the newsletter for a heightened review. It came back approved almost immediately, so I know there wasn't anything really wrong with it. If it happens again next month, I will try to see if I can contact someone there to see what I can do to avoid this. For now, I"m hoping it's just a fluke.

I got past it by taking the hyphen out of a-peel-ing. I am baffled as to why ING is considered Spam!!

happened to me yesterday, said 'biz' was preventing it from being approved. Had to let 'them' approve it before I could send it. Took an additional 30 minutes - big pain in the butt!

I'll take a look at this again. Thanks!

Yup, this was it!! As soon as I fixed it it went through just fine.

When I ran it, I got the .biz thing, which I know we can't help. I also got "part-time" as a flag, but we DO have a part-time business opportunity... and what does that have to do with spam anyway? And the a-peel-ing thing... I didn't realize that hyphenating -ing would trigger it as spam either - ugh! What an odd search engine they have....

I had already changed Part-time to two words since I could find that one but couldn't figure out the ING one.

I took out the hyphen in part-time and made it "part time" and it still got flagged

I think that's what I did and it was fine. I'll check and let you know.
