Sending email goes to bulk folder

Hi everyone,

I'm using the System.Web.Mail classes to email users.
The problem is that when I send to an Yahoo recipient, my email goes
straight into the bulk folder.
Is there a way to make sure that my email will go to the recipient's
inbox?

I don't know much about yahoo, but it could be that if you have a lot of
different names on the TO line, yahoo dumps it into the spam folder.

Instead of sending one mail with fifty people in the TO address, you might
want to put it into a loop, and send fifty e-mails, each with only one
person in the TO address. You bypass a common spam filter (a lot of people
in the to address) plus avoid problems with people doing a 'reply all' and
blasting personal info to everyone on the list instead of just you.

Part of your problem is that yahoo has control over what goes into what box,
not you. Do some research on what yahoo's spam filters are, so you will know
what will trigger them and what won't. There's no way you can guarentee it
will go to a users inbox, but by doing the research and not doing anything
to hit one of the filters you can help it along.

PS I'm assuming this is for some subscription / legitimate business based
use, and not spamming.
