outgoing mass e-mail is being blocked by spam firewall

[Reena]

I am trying to send an e-mail but everytime I send it, it bounces back saying
that it was blocked by HMS DC1 Mailer-Daemon spam firewall

Use mail merge to send individual messages instead of one bulk message with more recipients than apparently you're allowed to send.

I'm having the same problem and this answer doesn't help. Some outgoing
forwards with a dozen names go through, others with only one or two names get
blocked. Also be more specific about the mail merge option? Thanks -

Try a merge yourself and see: Go to your contact folder, choose Tools | Mail Merge and follow the prompts to create a new document and merge it to email.

Outlook has no knowledge of nor control over what your spam firewall will and will not allow.

Hello, I have a very similar problem. An email sent directly from

Outlook 2007 (same message, same mail server, same account) will be
received by the recipient without any problem. But when sent
through Outlook using mail merge from MS Word 2007, the message is sent from
Outlook but not received by the recipient. What is going on here? Is there
some tag attached by a mail-merged email sent via Outlook 2007 which triggers
off spam filters. This problem is serious. I am a small publisher of a hotel
guide and many of the 800 hotels that I regularly email with questionnaires
say they are not receiving the mailmerged emails I am sending them via
Outlook. The result is that I have to send them manually in Outlook which is
a real pain. I have tried the test with as few as two email recipient merges
and the email still does not reach the intended recipients. I am sure that
the email is being filtered by the receiving server spam
filters when coming from the Word merge process, but not when sent directly
from Outlook.

Any thoughts or ways around this?

Grateful for your help.
