Mail Merge Word to Entourage, spam?

Created data source in Excel. Created merge document in Word with my name and address as control. Merged data to email and sent thru Entourage. Email to self ended up in Junk E-mail folder.

QUESTION: Will all emails sent this way appear to be junk to recipients' email clients?

No, they only appear to be junk to you. There is a reason for this: in some
cases, spammers can fake your own email address to send spam messages. As a
result, Entourage's junk mail filter reacts much more strongly if there is a
message sent to yourself by yourself. See if adding your e-mail address to
the Entourage contact list solves the problem.

It should be mentioned, though, that since you seem to be sending messages
in HTML format, they might appear to be junk to *some* recipients, depending
on how rigid their mail servers' HTML filters are.

Email to self ended up in Junk E-mail folder.

This catches the real spam where it appears the mail is from you and not
mail you send yourself. I like the first example. I haven't met a spammer
yet that uses Entourage for a sending client.

Junk Mail where "From is Me"
