Incoming email being bounced

I receive a daily email from The Daily Sceptic.

Today's email didn't arrive. My wife forwarded it to me from Gmail but it was bounced by you as spam: it is NOT spam!

Is this censorship?

Whatever it is sort it!

PS the same thing happened 2 years ago.

Today's email arrived OK which definitely points to censorship.

Or a variation in the suspiciousness rating of the sending server ... or would that be a conspiracy theory?

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

TM, I think I posted above that today's email arrived OK which discounts your idea.

I still suspect censorship.

Hopefully someone at PN can look at the specific email and determine why it was withheld from me.

What is far more likely than the sceptre of censorship is that for one reason or another, the sending service peeked over a suspicion threshold thereby raising their SPAM filter rating.

These are refreshed within 24 hours and could thus today be clean again.

That's possible however I have used the sender for years and this is only the second time it's happened. OTOH, Gmail is blocking it too as spam but at least I get the opportunity to confirm that it isn't spam.

So it IS spammy! Problem is that different providers use different techniques and actions on detecting spam.

Re: Incoming email being bounced

MTV, no it is not"spammy"!

I have read the lot and examined someone else's copy of the email and there's definitely no spam by any ordinary understanding of the word.

Your logic is flawed, I will leave you to work out why.
