How could my email address be construed as SPAM?

3 comments so far


I emailed a prayer request to the Christian Broadcasting Network over the weekend because we have been hooked up with them for years. I emailed them from my gmail address.
I just got a reply from them as if they had no idea who we were and the subject said “possible SPAM prayer request.” What may have caused this? I’ve emailed them from my gmail address before. Never got a reply like this.
I would rather not say what the prayer request was for. Thanks!
I asked for prayer regarding finding janitorial work to make extra money.
I also asked that they pray that we find a church since we just moved to a new area.

    Sorry, can’t answer the question unless we know what the prayer request was for.

    Some automatic text can be interpreted like spam. You should contact them. Most services, I remember the example of YouSendIt, warn you that the receiver should add their mail to the white list, so it won’t be received as spam. And sometimes, when we receive such e-mais, we have to look in the spam folder, because they go directly there.

    I’ve noticed this happening a lot lately. I get mail in my spam folder that comes from people I’ve been receiving mail from for years. I don’t know why the shift all of a sudden but it happens a lot :)
