Wondering if you can point me in the right direction on how to make our spam scores lower. How can I get information on how to make edits to our pages to lower our scores? We currently use Kintera to send our email newsletters. Please help!! Thanks
An example of our spam score:
Your spam score is: 2.9 points
Score Details:
pts rule name description
---- ----------------------
--------------------------------------------------
0.2 HTML_FONT_FACE_ODD BODY: HTML font face is not a commonly used
face
0.2 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message
0.3 HTML_FONT_BIG BODY: HTML has a big font
0.6 HTML_TABLE_THICK_BORD BODY: HTML table has thick border
0.7 MIME_HTML_ONLY BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
0.7 HTML_50_60 BODY: Message is 50% to 60% HTML
0.4 FORGED_YAHOO_RCVD 'From' yahoo.com does not match 'Received'
headers

That's not a high score. Your message mentions which rules were hit
and contains a description of the rules. Most of them are because
your newsletter is in HTML instead of plain text.

As a heads up, more people will read your message if you make your
Subject line more insightful.
Ironically, I contacted Kintera last Spring pointing out that I wasn't
getting messages from one of their customers because they were sending
malformed messages that pegged the spam-o-meter (in particular, they
were sending broken Date: lines).
Didn't hear back.
Apparently, they've never heard of Spam, or have no interest in
differentiating themselves from less-legitimate content.
Perhaps it's a marketing strategy to sell you more products and services
to complement the ineffectual ones you're now using. ;-)

get normal, correct SW for those newsletters. Nearly all those flags mean
there's something sick in Kintera.

Right there is an easy one. Accept that there are people out there who
don't like or don't want HTML emails, be considerate of them, and
include a plain-text alternative version of your newsletter.

Liberals love sex ed because it teaches kids to be safe around their
sex organs. Conservatives love gun education because it teaches kids
to be safe around guns. However, both believe that the other's
education goals lead to dangers too terrible to contemplate.
