The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Preventing Hotmail from blocking CDONTS/CDOSYS mail ?

Asked by arablic in Active Server Pages (ASP), SendMail Email Server, Email Servers

Hi

I run a web site that uses various forms to send email to customers. For example, I have a "Forgot your password?" script and a "Email this page" script.

I've found out that when a user sends an email via my site to a Hotmail address, the email just "disappears." I'm assuming Hotmail is considering the email SPAM because it was send by my web server? The site uses ASP and I've tried using CDONTS and CDOSYS (which I specified a SMTP server for) and nothing seems to work for Hotmail.

A large portion of my customers user Hotmail, so banning it really isn't an option.

Is there anything I can do to prevent Hotmail from blocking my site's emails???

The script seems to work when sending to other non-Hotmail accounts. If it was being seen as junk-mail, I would at least expect to see the email in my "Junk Email" folder, but it doesn't show-up at all.

I did a search through these forums on this topic, and it appears as though it's not specific to ASP (which makes sense.) Some of the guys were wondering if the email has to contain some specific header information so it's not rejected by the Hotmail servers????

Please Help Me
