The answer to your question, Gary... We are an incentives marketing firm with an affiliate element. Our members can send virtual promotions from their account to friends, family, colleagues, etc; however, some email services such as Hotmail, Yahoo, etc appear to be blocking these promotions.
So - we have a duty to ensure such promotions are delivered "as perceived" by our members. Likewise, we send various updates/newsletters to our members periodically and we feel that a majority of such messages are not being delivered to our members. Therefore, it pertinent for our company to check such SPAM scoring to ensure the customers of our members receive what they send them and that our members receive the communications from us as a company. So we are not trying to see how much spam related content can go into an email nor are we tring to find a way around SA... We are trying to allow our members to communicate with their customers as well as allow our company to communicate to our members. -----Original Message----- From: Gary Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 12:35 PM To: Matt Kettler; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SAtalk] Content Analysis The better question is why? Why would you need to scan your email before sending it? Are you trying to generate a threshold to see how much spam related content can go into an email before SA marks it or are you trying to find a way to get around SA?

These are self explanatory. HTML documents require character set declarations. Only MIME encoded messages can have a Content-Type header, and MIME messages must have MIME version headers. If they aren't self explanatory, perhaps your shouldn't be writing your own tools for mail generation. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
