Outgoing mail from Outlook 2003 marked as SPAM

C

CC

Ever since I changed from Eudora to Outlook 2003 for mail, my outgoing mail
is being marked as Spam. It's not my ISP, it's not my mail host - I've
already checked. Also, everyone in my office is using the same ISP and the
same mail host, and they're not having the problem. However, I am the only
person using Outlook 2003. Everyone else uses Outlook 2000 or Outlook
Express.

People in my own office are getting my email marked as Spam. There's
nothing objectionable in the body or subject. Outside people are also
getting it marked as Spam.

There seems to be something wrong with my headers, but I can't figure out
what. Has anyone seen this before?

Someone's mail filter it tagging your mail as spam - outlook does not add
spam tags. The reason is likely because your mail server doesn't add a
message id (as it should according to RFCs) and neither is Outlook (as it
shouldn't since it;s a client, not a server)

I know that Outlook doesn't add Spam tags, and I know that it's being tagged
as spam by the server. However, it seems that Outlook 2003 is formatting the
header or mail somehow so that it is detected as Spam. I've seen several
similar threads on this board. Again, this only started happening when I
switched to Outlook 2003. Everything else (ISP, mail host, mail recipients)
has remained constant. No one else in my office has this problem. I am the
only one using Outlook 2003.

Can anyone help with this??
