Honestly though, I don't think very many people would click to read an article entitled, "Image-weight to text ratio affects deliverability." The title would be true, but who cares if nobody reads the article.In terms of not providing a definitive answer about getting through Postini, that bugged the hell outta me too. Felt like we left things unfinished.So in a later post, I give a few examples of users' campaigns that actually *did* get through:<a href="http://mailchimp.blogs.com/2007/05/postini_a_very_.html" rel="nofollow">http://mailchimp.blogs.com/2007/05/postini_a_very_.html</a> Thanks for the feedback.

As said in the first comment, it wasn't the removal of spammy words, it was the text-image ratio. Also, you never gave a reason as to what were the exact reasons it failed in Postini and any suggested solutions. I just felt more confused after reading this article.

But then I realized by reading the article that it isn't the removal of the spammy words per se, but reduced ratio of text to image that does it. Reducing spammy words is good, as long as you bulk the text back up so that the text-to-image ratio is equal. It was a bit shocking to read that removing spammy words could hurt a spam score.
