How to troubleshoot corporate filters and gateways?
Identify the filter:
- Headers reveal filter type
- Common: Proofpoint, Barracuda, Mimecast, Microsoft Defender
Check relevant blocklists:
- Barracuda has its own list
- Check corporate-focused lists
Corporate-specific challenges:
- Policies vary by company
- May block marketing entirely
- Admin-configured rules
Options:
- Direct contact with recipient to whitelist
- Request admin exception
- Ensure transactional messages clearly labeled
- B2B considerations different from consumer
Corporate harbors have stricter, variable rules. Relationship with the specific company may help.
