Recently sent this to a client regarding email applications…

  1. Blacklisted? Not sure? Check http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx
    and enter IP Address
  2. Spamcop got you down? Not sure? Check http://www.spamcop.net/bl.shtml
    and enter IP Address
  3. For gobs of information (and to signup to be in the feedback loop) -
    visit http://postmaster.aol.com. The whole site has a lot of useful
    information. Being in the feedback loop will allow them to notify you if
    a user puts your email in the junk mail. This way you can unsubscribe the
    customer, instead of risking being blacklisted.
  4. Yahoo! wants to be your friend. How can you be their friend? Visit

  5. Finally, here is a legal blurb about commercial email systems:
