I'm being blocked by a Barracuda spam filter

My email freaks out all the time. Have you considered typing a letter and sending it in the U.S. Mail?

plain text message or HTML/rich text?

Try sending your email from Lagos, Nigeria. Those emails always seem to get through.

Seriously, are you using anonymizer or something like that which might get your mail flagged? If you have a dynamic IP address, maybe try rebooting your modem.

Online email blacklist lookup check to find out if email server is on any real- time blacklist, spam blacklist or DNS black list commonly used to block email ...

Call the company and ask that they have their system admin put your email address on their “white list”.

I tried to send my wife a Palin cartoon to her work address that was ironically blocked by the Barracuda spam filter.

For a normaly client spam filter, you’d be whitelisted when he sent you the email. But a Barracuda sits on the network and operates under its own rules.

Barracudas use a number of factors on deciding whether or not to block emails. Be sure that the word “BULK” is not in the header! It will actually “score” an email as questionable or even SPAM by the content in the body of the message.

If you keep getting blocked, you can call the person you’re trying to send to and have that person contact their network or email administrator and they will be able to deliver the message. Plus, they can put you in their white list. Just because they can send to you doesn’t mean that you’re currently in their white list.
