Dec 14, 2023 at 13:05 comment added JF Meier @Bergi It would be great if you could create some sort of token in your email account, valid 24 hours, that someone could put into an email and then you can be sure that it is not spam...
Dec 14, 2023 at 12:58 comment added Bergi @JFabianMeier Containing the full name of the recipient is not a strong signal. Leaked or harvested address information is a dime a dozen.
Dec 14, 2023 at 9:39 comment added Tasos Papastylianou Just another thing to consider. My university runs a barracuda server, which can flag and stop suspicious email from even making it to your spam folder. If your clients aren't even seeing a message in spam, then this may be what is happening. If they contact their organisation's IT department they may well be redirected to their barracuda server (or equivalent) to authorise those emails (which may or may not also end up in spam once delivered).

Dec 14, 2023 at 7:13 comment added JF Meier @Flater I see the point, but two thoughts: First, deleting suspected spam without notifying the recipient is not a good idea, but this is obviously done at some places. Secondly, I have information that the usual spammer does not have, e.g. by putting the full, correct name of the recipient into the email, I give a strong hint that I am not a spammer.

Dec 13, 2023 at 23:26 comment added Flater This is not a deterministically solvable problem. You're trying to figure out how other parties may have decided to intentionally filter your content, and are trying to circumvent those rules. The rules are in place specifically to stop certain communications from reaching users. These agents constantly try to circumvent the rules to get their mail delivered anyway. There is no way for you to conclusively convince others that your content is not spam, because the ability to do so would immediately be abused by spammers. Even if you answer this, the goalposts will move eventually.
