Hotmail Delivery - your emails have been dropped!
Hotmail
If you are having email delivered to Hotmail accounts but it never gets opened and you feel confident that Microsoft is null routing (DROPPING) your email, then that might be good news.
Recently I have a number of hotmail mailers that have made the discovery that Microsoft is looking closely at Return Paths Sender Score. If the IP space has no Sender Score reputation it is almost guaranteed that the email will be null routed and never delivered to the inbox.
To solve this problem, you must build a SenderScore Reputation. Send your best, clean data to general internet domains. Keep the volume low such that you do not alarm any spam watch-dogs. The emails will be reported by the ISPs that use Return Path. This includes, Cox, RoadRunner, USA.NET, Mail-Trust, BlueTie, Earthlink, Excite, Rackspace Hosting, Tucows managed domains and Yahoo.com managed domains that include AT&T.
Today I noticed a number of IPs were being manually blocked at Microsoft. I made this discovery because I subscribe to Microsoft SNDS. You to can see these reports at Microsoft and can easily sign up at Microsoft postmaster As easily as you get blocked at Microsoft you can also get unblocked. You just need to ask. They will remove the manual blocks usually within two business days upon your request.
Now the secret to getting IP space unblocked by Microsoft is easy
With you have data from Microsoft and know how to ask the right people, the right question and within a few days, sometimes a few hours the IP space block is removed.Go to http://postmaster.msn.com/Troubleshooting.aspx and at the bottom of this page you will see a link to Support. Click on Support link
The next step will require some careful attention to details.
Answer all the questions and be honest. Microsoft support will read every answer you give and will reply with additional questions as needed within a few hours. In my case I had a large number of IPs that needed to investigate thus this took three days.
After you complete and submit this form, you should expect a reply withing 24-48 hours.
You also need to be part of Microsoft's Smart Network Data Services. Read more at https://postmaster.live.com/snds/FAQ.aspx
Smart Network Data Services (SNDS)
Is a revolutionary Windows Live Hotmail initiative designed to allow everyone who owns IP space to contribute to the fight against spam, malware, viruses, and other Internet evils, to protect e-mail and the Internet as a valued communications, productivity and commerce tool. Windows Live Hotmail, with over 350 million active user accounts world-wide, is in a unique position to collect and analyze e-mail activity data. By providing that data to service providers, most of whom wouldn’t otherwise have access to any such data, they are empowered to use their relationship with their customers to react and take repair actions, such as preventing spam from originating within their IP space. The overarching goal of SNDS is to make the Internet a better, safer place. Working together, Windows Live Hotmail and service providers can make their respective customers happier and more satisfied with the various services we all provide.

Usually effecting the General Internet (GI) email servers hitting them with outages across the board - clamav kills them!
FROM: Article
all ClamAV releases older than 0.95 are
affected by a bug in freshclam which
prevents incremental updates from
working with signatures longer than 980 bytes.
You can find more details on this issue
on our bugzilla (see bug #1395
Starting from 15 April 2010 our CVD will
contain a special signature which disables
all clamd installations older than 0.95 –
that is to say older than 1 year.
Basically impacted around 3-5% of all mail servers, and 100% of lazy email administrators.

Email Marketing : Blacklisted
See the entire VIDEO
Share
If your mail server has been blacklisted, email you send may not be delivered. Email blacklists (ealtime blacklist, DNSBL or RBL) are a common and easy way of reducing spam.
"Blacklists help keep away spam and unsolicited email by giving mail providers a list of bad email senders in which they can then simply automatically block and keep away from in-boxes and or email servers. The main CON for using blacklists is that sometimes legitimate email providers can get on a blacklist. There is no formal governance for monitoring what/who blacklist publish.
Tools to check if your IP space is on a blacklist: dnsstuff.com (PAID) | mxtoolbox.com (FREE)
Some blacklists are more important not to be on than others, here are ones you should pay attention to: MAPS | URIBL | SURBL | SpamHaus | Spamcop | CBL | BARRACUDA | UCEPROTEC | INVALUEMENT
Things to do to AVOID getting on a blacklist: Not using a confirmed opt-in, Using a hosting provider known for sending bulk email, Ignoring unsubscribes, Blindly running an email marketing server, and last but not least : Buying an e-mail list,
Companies who can help you not get on a blacklist: ReturnPath.com, Goodmail.com, Pivitalverocity.com
Companies that can help monitor reputation: Senderscore.org (FREE)

Above The Fold
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT1xMKHCae8
The RoboMail Channel
Above-the-fold is the portion of an email page that you first see without scrolling. Above-the-fold is generally the most desirable location of content in an email because it is the most readily visible. With the increase of people using mobile devices to view email and wide screen formatted monitors, above-the-fold is getting harder to determine.
NOTE: Using external CSS sheets to render the email is the most effective way of rendering the content above the fold.
"Above the fold" is a graphic design concept that refers to the location of an important news story or a visually appealing photograph on the upper half of the front page of a newspaper. Most papers are delivered and displayed to customers folded up, meaning that only the top half of the front page is visible. Thus, an item that is "above the fold" may be one that the editors feel will entice people to buy the paper. Alternatively, it reflects a decision, on the part of the editors, that the article is one of the day's most important. By extension, the space above the fold is also preferred by advertisers, since it is the most prominent and visible even when the newspaper is on stands.
The term can be used more generally to refer to anything that is prominently displayed or of highest priority.
This term has been extended and used in web development to refer the portions of a webpage that can be visible without scrolling. However, some have suggested that this term is inaccurate as screen sizes vary greatly between users, especially in an era where websites are viewed with mobile devices as much as home computers. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_the_fold
Screen Resolution and Page Layout:
Optimize : for WIDE SCREEN format, (16:9 and 16:10) it's probably about 80% of your viewers can see that.
Liquid: use a liquid layout that can stretch the entire length of the preview pane.

email authentication
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhoZYbZxRj0
When email marketing you should probably consider email authentication. There are 4 basic authentication methods for email: SPF, Sender ID, DKIM and Domain Keys. Which one is right for you? Email authentication helps prevent spoofing, and is more and more prevalent in the email space. If you are an email marketer then get used to the lingo.
