We run an email service which schools use to send emails to opted-in parents (info about their child's education etc.).
The sender domains are all of the format [Removed] (where * is the school name).
Messages are blocked/rejected with the smtp response 'Spam Message Rejected".
We use SPF, Dmarc, DKIM and adhere to all standard policies/email good practice. The sending IP addresses are:
We have checked none of these are listed by Cloudmark (or any other known blacklist). Why are our emails consistently rejected, and what can we do to stop this happening? They are not spam - the parents want to receive them.
Thanks
James

Hi @jamesbarrell,
I haven't been able to locate any account associated with the information provided. Just to confirm, are your emails sent from a Plusnet Mail Account?

@TheMightyAJ I dont think so!
They're being sent TO plusnet mailboxes from an external address and server BUT they're being rejected as spam and the OP would like to understand why?
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Thanks - yes that's correct - these are emails being sent from our own mail servers TO plusnet accounts - i.e. *.plus.com email addresses.
We'd like to understand why they are being rejected as spam, and what we can do about it.
Even if your filters think they contain 'spammy' content why would you not deliver them to the recipients' spam folder and then let them decide, and give them the opportunity to mark as 'not spam'? We're not even able to get that far as PlusNet is rejecting them completely, so our recipients are completely unaware of them. We meet all the SPF/DKIM/Dmarc standards as I mentioned in the original post.
Thanks for your help

Hi @jamesbarrell, sorry to hear you're experiencing problems sending emails to plusnet addresses.
Please could you send an email to abuse@plus.net with the following details:
- Subject “Third party email blocked by Plusnet spam filter”
- Clarification that they cannot send email to Plusnet email addresses because the email gets reported as SPAM
- Purpose of the email send and provide a sample of the mail sent.
- Inclusion of errors contained within the NDR (Non Deliverable Report) emails.
- Provide the sender address, subject line, recipient address and date/time in GMT/BST
If this also gets a bounceback for spam, please could you try this from another email address (Such as a gmail address etc.)
Thanks.

Further to my previous post, I've just spoken to the guy who often picks these emails up and he's said it may get picked up quicker if we raise a task for this as opposed to waiting for the next time the emails are picked up.
Could you drop myself and @Gandalf a PM with the information requested in my previous response and one of us will get that raised for you.
Thanks.

Thanks Harry - sorry if it's a stupid question but how do I PM you? I can't see any option to do that?
I had already just emailed abuse@ as suggested before reading your last post, but can send the same details in a PM too if you let me know.
James

Hi @jamesbarrell there should be a private message option in our profiles. Here are some shortcuts though, to PM @HarryB click Here or to PM me click Here.
It'd be easier and quicker to raise this if you could PM the information directly as we'd have to try and find someone with access to the abuse@ mailbox to locate the email you've sent us.
To avoid any further delay, I'd recommend PMing me as Harry's left the office now, he mostly works night shifts.
I'll then get a task raised to our NetOps team to investigate further.

Hi
We had an email from Jon Whiting <abuse@plus.net> following this on Thursday asking for some more info which we sent straight back - but have not had any response to that yet, or a follow up email sent on Friday.
We're still getting the email rejection problem.
Please can you chase this up, it is a big problem for us.
Thanks
James

Hi James,
Sorry for the delayed update, I've got in touch with JW and he's passed this onto Cloudmark.
I should be able to provide an update on the progress within the next 24 hours.

Thank you - we do not have any new reports yet, however I think we may not have sent many emails yet. We will monitor it for a few days and be in touch if any further problems.
Thanks again for chasing this up,
James
