ASP mailing scripts rejected by hotmail.com

[^KoalaBear^]

Can anyone tell me if they have had experiences with some of the free web mail servers rejecting (ie. user not receiving) mail sent as part of a 'Refer this site to your friend' asp script?

I have 2 different scripts sent to me by pals... both will send 'refer' mail ok to several private IP account email clients, but is either always rejected (@hotmail.com) or sometimes rejected (@graffiti.net) yet always accepted (@yahoo.com) by various free web email clients!!

I am very ignorant on server side scripts and am wondering if there is a trick to coding them that they will be accepted by all servers. Is it possibly something to do with which system various servers are running on? EG: Apache/Unix/Linux/MS/Others?

I hope I have explained that properly

Cheers!

i do believe hotmail have some kind of filter to stop the flow of spam.
if you have a script up and running let me know and i will PM you an email address which runs of a server with filtering. try your script on it and that will determine where it is a spam filter blocking it.

Thanks... it looks like I may have to rethink their use if they are blocked by the likes of hotmail.com... unless of course, someone can suggest a fix.

I just sent you a private message regarding this... I think you're ok, but I don't want this kind of knowledge more available to the "wannabe spammer" or the public than it already is. ;)
