Brief synopsis:
If I send an email without a URL embedded in it, it goes fine.
Identical email with certain URLs bounce back:
Your message couldn't be delivered and there was no valid enhanced status code being issued by the remote mail system to determine the exact cause, status: '552 EFK6fhGxzHyvzEFK7fHhkw message rejected due to spam or virus. If you believe this is in error please login to your portal or contact your ISP support team.'. The following organization rejected your message: avasout07.
This happens identically with different destination email addresses.
This is a very small email with no graphics
So then I tried a different URL (google.co.uk) and that one got through.
The link was a (safe) download link for teamviewer. Is that being detected and filtered as suspicious?
Then I tried a redirected (shortened) link - also failed.
My final test were emails to gmail and yahoo test accounts with just the teamviewer homepage. So far they haven't bounced nor have they got through to the recipients.

The two messages with just the teamviewer homepage have got through now. I guess avasout07 is clever enough to know the link I sent was actually a link to an (innocent) executable.

Hello Townman,
I'd rather not post the exact link as it's company confidential however it's very similar to:
https://get.teamviewer.com/nectarine
The shortened one is

And for giggles I thought I'd send those links through to my gmail account.
The first one got through, but the bit.do one bounced
The following organization rejected your message: avasout03.
Weird as they both don't exist!

I just ran a couple of test emails using both of those URLs. The tests consisted of sending an otherwise empty email (other than sigs)...
- From an Outlook.com email account to a Plusnet account
- Forwarding the received email to a second Plusnet account
In the case of the URL https://bit.do/nectarine the email was successfully received by the Plusnet email account at step 1. The attempt to forward it at step 2 failed.
In the hope that it assists @bobpullen or @Kelly here is the header from the undeliverable notification email (if something else is required, please ask).

Thank you for the very prompt response confirming a valid SPAM rejection.
If your "very similar" non bit.do URL is getting the SPAM reject, then it is not sufficiently similar to the one which works here. If you are not able to disclose the URL in public (or send it to Bob via a PM - click his name) then I fear that there is little more which can be done to assist. Without knowledge of the URL, it is not possible to review the SPAM filter performance.

https://bit.do/nectarine is seen as spam, it's valid and redirects to content that has been reported as such. I've not visited it personally, and would urge others not to either, unless they know pre-hand that it's safe.
Bob I pulled the word nectarine from thin air, and that link goes nowhere as it's made up (the real link is a bit.do one too).
Can you explain how it's valid and redirects to spam content as it just goes to a 404 page that has a link to click to bit.do's homepage. It's safe.
