I sent a chap an email (got his address from his blog ) and in his reply he put "For some reason, hotmail treated your email with suspicion!"
I use Thunderbird.
Using Linux should not have any bearings on the email should it ?, not had this before .
I will see if he can send me his error message if he gets it again.
It may just be his AV doing a faults positive.

Any ideas.

Hotmail is owned by Microsoft of course, and they disallow some browsers from accessing the Hotmail website. So I wouldn't put it past them to filter mail from certain sources, but this is pure speculation on my part.

Good point  .

Roseway (and tickmike?) you appear to be suffering from Linux-user paranoia/conspiracy theory syndrome.  

Hotmail, like many other systems (check Yahoo for example) tries very hard to filter out spam using a complicated scoring system. I've never seen any evidence of discrimination against non-MS email clients as senders and if it was happening I think there are very many people out there who would have screamed about it by now.  

Also "some reason" is surely not the error message (more like the recipients "interpretation" maybe?), there would normally be something much more specific. Can we see that please tickmike?

I used to use Thunderbird and had Hotmail bound message returned regularly with a similar explanation "that my message was unsuitable" . I can't remember the exact wording.     I got so fed up with it I started using Outlook and have not had any problem since.

I sent this chap an other email with no problems, he thinks it could have been Norton AV being too careful.

I have sent many emails both via Linux or MS (in the past) with no problems using Thunderbird.
