Hi Marcus and other Conch-L-ers

Be aware that many mail servers with automatic spam filters will block many or all incoming messages from Hotmail and other free mail services. This is due to their (well-earned) reputation as spam farms. Hotmail is particularly notorious, as anyone can sign up and fire off a huge spam mailing and then disappear again.
As elsewhere in the digital world, you get what you pay for.
Regards,

PC.

I had several messages blocked again in the past weeks. I changed the
settings on my hotmail to plain text and not html to see if it could help
but many of my replies were not accepted. Nor I have received a messages
telling me Conch-L has rejected my message. I will not give up but I must
admit this is very frustrating mainly after writing a long message (and I
don't keep sent messages on Hotmail).

I wonder if we are doing something wrong here. Should we delete all original
messages before to reply them? Is hotmail bad to receive these messages?
