Those images are loooong gone. They were hosted on our old blog platform. Sorry. I think you’ll have to do more troubleshooting. Basically, look for content that reads like a TV commercial for a used car dealership (salesy, urgent stuff like, “everything must go!”).

There’s a slight chance Delivery Doctor can point out problems in your email that trigger other spam filters:
http://blog.mailchimp.com/mailchimp-delivery-doctor/

which might point you in the right direction. But DD looks more from a high level at what you need to change, and doesn’t really point out exactly what to do.

One clue might be in the filename of the missing image: “withoneclick.gif” That could be the phrase I removed. It does sound rather salesy.

Hello Ben…I am having the same trouble in that something in my mailer is being flagged by POSTINI “Make-Money-Fast Spam (M:84.1)”
I tried the above links but you seem to have already removed the images. Any chance you could maybe upload them again…or email them to me so I can figure out what I have to change in the code? Thanks a bunch, Scott

Hi…
How do U implement a random (personal) promotion discount, so that you can offer a new subscriber some $ discounts if he is making a buy ?

a code like: a462fe

u no´..- just a code that is unique, and only usable with that email address he subscribed with

Greetings to all monkiyas

Go to the lists tab, and then “design forms.” You’ll see a pulldown that lets you pick the different pages and emails to customize.
