    Outlook (2003) is send my email as spam

    I use outlook 2003 to send and receive email from my comcast account. When I
    send an email using outlook 2003 the person I am sending the email to says
    the email goes into their spam filter/box (not just one person this happens
    to almost everyone I send email to).

    I did go to comcast.net and sent email directly from the account (taking
    outlook out of the equation) and everyone receives the email as normal (not
    spam).

    Please help, thanx

    P.S. I am using outlook 2003, and not outlook express

    There have been problems with spammers using Comcast mail gateways. As for
    the difference compare the headers from a message sent using Outlook with
    one sent "directly from the account" (web mail?) and you will see that they
    appear to come from a different server address or IP.

    If you only have a few recipients you can tell them to manually set your
    Comcast mail as "not junk" but until Comcast fixes their email gateway this
    will continue to happen to email you send to anyone who has not done this.

    When you send via webmail, it doesn't use the same mail server as
    when you send through a SMTP server. If the SMTP server you use
    has been abused by spammers, it will be on a blacklist.

    Incidentally, this forum (newsgroup) normally does not cover Outlook issues.

    Nothing to do with Outlook, unless you have an AV app scanning outgoing
    which is adding something to the msg
