at WAR with Spam Filters

My website is a question and answer format website that people send me questions and I answer them.

I get emails, spend half an hour to respond and reply. Over the past year I would guess at least 50% of my emails I spent so much time on, went directly to the recipient's SPAM filter.

My own messages that are forwarded to my yahoo/gmail addresses often go to spam as well

Does anyone know if there is a way to reduce the chance my email replies goto the hotmail, yahoo, gmail email spam boxes?

This is angering me to no end, as I get emails in my inbox from NIgerianKingSpammer@yahoo.com all the time while my emails go to their spam folder.

That sounds very frustrating. I dont know how that feels though, but I feel your pain.

Id be angered to! Unfortunately I dont know why its doing that, but heres a link to a forum where the answer was asked and it got some responses, hopefully its helpful.

Thanks, that is a really detailed thread and it has some advanced ideas

It's not a complete loss though, i turn my replied emails into webpages so the people emailing me are creating 1/2 of the content for me, but I still wish the original recipients got the answer they spent the time to type...
