Outlook and the Junk Mail Filter
 

First off, I'm using Outlook 2003 with the default junk mail settings.

I am attempting to send an HTML email to all of my clients. I've hand
crafted an email using a text editor and then put it in a program that
I wrote for my mass mailing.

The problem: If at least one link is in the email, it gets marked as
junk. It's full HTML with 3 graphics and a decent amount of text. If
I remove the link, it will come into my inbox. 1 link, straight to
junk.

Is there something I am missing when it comes to making this email?

Are you sending the mail or receiving it? The junk filter doesn't operate
when sending a message, so is this a case of sending it to yourself?

Do your links actually reflect the location the you're referencing? For
example, if you include something like

Please visit a href ="http://somesite.com/realref.html"
http://anothersite.com/fakeref.html a

Then it will be flagged as junk because it's perceived as a phishing
expedition.

This is an outbound email. The links are all pointing to the same
domain that the email originated from. The links are to "a
href="http://oursite.com/product1"Product 1/a".

I'm not being clear here.

I am sending out an email to a list of people. I am on that list.
When the email comes into my account, it gets marked as junk.

If I put one link inside the email, when it returns to my inbox, it
gets junked.
