Q: How can I make sure my email messages get delivered?
Answer by Beth Stinson
Technical Writer, L-Soft
You can greatly increase the chance that your messages will be delivered by using LISTSERV Maestro's spam checker. The spam checker, available in version 2.0-2 and higher, can check the likelihood that your message might be identified as spam by pointing out problem areas in the message. Once identified, problem areas such as no text alternative for HTML messages or using exclamation points in the subject or body can be corrected, giving messages a greater chance to reach recipients.
