The Email Wars

Funny thing is one of our team caught this yesterday and had me audit some SenderID records to make sure they did not get messed up.

Microsoft Phishing Filter Error

We just learned of an issue at Microsoft domains that may be affecting your inbox percentages. Starting on Monday you may have noticed some of your campaigns being routed to the junk folder with the message: this message may be a phishing scam. It is very likely this was caused by error with the Microsoft phishing filter that flagged a very common link in HTML content, specifically: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml.

We have been in contact with the Microsoft team and they have assured us that the issue has been resolved.

You don’t need to do anything. We just wanted to let you know why some of your deliverability numbers may have been off during the last 24 hours or so.

Questions? Just pick up the phone; your Return Path account representative is ready to help.

All best,
The Sender Score Team
