Re: Windows Live Mail Photo Emails Problem

Your ISP needs to talk to the supplier of their anti-spam software who
needs to research the problem.

The anti-spam software is giving a false positive and needs adjusted to
allow Photo mail.

This is assuming that you aren't trying to send your message to too many
people.

The photo mail uploads the real full size images to a Microsoft server
and puts links to them in the message. The issue could be that once a
critical mass of your ISP's users have used the photo mail, the
anti-spam software has seen too many messages with links to the same
server and says aha spam!.
