[thelist] Topica = Spam?

[Cancilla Dominick]

I've got a client who is looking to move his opt-in e-mail list to Topica because he wants to start sending HTML e-mail (the program we currently use is text only). However, while researching this I found that any e-mail list I opt into on Topica gets tagged as Spam by my company's blocking software. I even found an instance of a company whose newsletters came through fine, but started to be blocked when they switched to Topica.

> So, since our IT people won't divulge the secrets of how they tag e-mail as Spam, my questions are these: Does anyone out there know if e-mail from Topica is commonly marked as Spam by Spam-killers? And if so, can someone recommend an equivalent (or better!) service that doesn't have this problem?
