When I send emails about cars for sale in the classifieds I never seem to get responses. For some time I put this down to cars being sold and the seller not bothering to respond to my mail to tell me so.

I called a seller today having emailed him a couple of times and he said that he had not received any mails from me, either in junk or regular folder.

Could you look into this please?

Is it because I use a hotmail address in the contact form or perhaps a problem down to my particular IP (although I believe my ISP gives an IP that varies from time to time).

Many thanks!

Big Al.

This is something that was raised a week or so ago:

Your profile could have triggered a spam filter - the admin will reply tomorrow to explain I guess!

Correct, this is exactly what was causing the problem.

We have to fairly vicious spam/scam filtering code on our email system to keep things as safe as we can, but unfortunately this does result in a few false alarms.

OP: I've cleared the block now, so everything should be working unless you have used several email addresses. If this is the case or if you have any more problems then drop me a PM and we'll get it sorted.
