My business has a mailing list of approximately 1,800 email addresses. We
actually have over 4,000 contacts, but only 1,800 have asked in or are
otherwise appropriate for these newsletters (local Chambers of Commercer,
etc.). There is no opt-on or double opt-on script on my website. I just
build the list based on people who contact me. We don't use any email
distribution software, which is a step to come for sure but for now, I only
have a "Distribution List" through Outlook. However, my emails through this
distribution list are being rejected, due to "tarpitting," as a "suspected
spammer," with the additional clue of "31/30 max_bad_to". I don't mind
removing people from our newsletter/mailing list; and as much as I hate to
admit I deserve outside censure, I understand it if my human error has caused
unwanted intrustion upon peoples' privacy. However, the vast majority of the
people who are not receiving these newsletters are people who want them:
people of whose interest I have firsthand knowledge. As someone who is
legitimate, or at least not an intentional spammer, how can I override this?
