[MlMt] Query about not receiving mail

[Sam Hathaway]

Any mail server “on the way” to those recipients could have 
classified your message as spam and dropped it in the bit bucket. From 
what I’ve seen, mail servers have a couple of spam thresholds: a lower 
confidence one where the message goes to the user’s Spam/Junk folder 
and a higher confidence one where the message is rejected outright. 
Depending on the server, it may or may not send a bounce back.

I’m curious if those two users are using different email providers 
than the rest of the folks on your message. I sometimes have delivery 
problems with @yahoo.com and @aol.com recipients.

I used the “Mail Tester” service to test how mail servers are likely 
to see my outgoing emails. There were a few things I could fix and more 
that my email host had to fix. Give it a try!

Hope this helps!
