1241495 2011-11-02 20:41:00 Hoping someone here might have a clue what is going on and possibly have a solution .

My internet server is through AT&T Yahoo . I use Outlook Express 6 as my mail program . I have a Hotmail account that is set up so I can send/receive using OE . In order to send emails, I have to add the account in my ATT Yahoo account and have it verified . In OE, I have to use the setting for outgoing mail using the ATT SMTP server .

I have done all that and it works just fine .

The problem is that when I use OE sending from my Hotmail account to send to another Hotmail account . When I access Hotmail on the web, the email has gone to the junk box and is marked by the "Smart Filter" as potentially dangerous .

The address it came from is listed in Hotmail as "safe" and, in fact, it is even the same as the account (sending Hotmail email to myself but using OE) .

I have another email account with a different server extension (my work account) that I send using OE and Hotmail doesn't view it as Junk or unsafe when I send using it . Also, if the Hotmail email is sent to a Yahoo account, it goes through to the Inbox and no warnings .

I do not know if this is clear but if you have any ideas why this is happening, I'd appreciate your help . I use OE and my Hotmail account to send out group emails to my church and I don't want anyone to ever be concerned opening them .

Thank you
