Email Issues

Asked by rkorts in Miscellaneous Web Development

We are having sporadic issues with emails generated on the web server.

It appears that a small percentage (maybe 10% to 20%?) of the generated emails are NOT being received by the receipients.

ALL the emails have the following format (Subject Line varies depening upon the trpe of order)
_________________________________________________
From: "Lifeguards" <lifeguards@someplace.com>
To: somebody@someplace.com
Cc: me@yahoo.com

Note that ALL the emails have a cc to a specific address (me@yahoo.com). To my knowledge, all the Cc's are received. However, Yahoo Mail categorizes MOST (but NOT ALL) of them as "Bulk" mail, a designation that I believe Yahoo uses for "maybe spam".

It appears that the messages that are NOT being received are beacuse of something about them that is being considered as "spam".

We need to know what element(s)  of these is "spam like" so we can eliminate that portion.
