How can i find out, without having to subscribe to some service and pay...
I do use a mail service for our email marketing campaigns....which is a very well know one, so i dont think it would be from that...i know they have measures for that right?
thanks
"message undeliverable"
Message back and it will state that your email was rejected because of "X" reason and it will give you a link to the database they have you listed as a spammer from.
It is rare to not receive at least one of these if your email is indeed marked as spammers address....
The other possibility is that they have hyper junk filters... so the message gets through on the server but their email client will mark it as junk and put it in some sort of junk mail folder which will not result in you getting a message about being blocked... beacuse the message was delivered to the inbox you sent it to... just that it was marked within that folder as spam.
To avoid ending up in junk mail folders, make sure that:
You don't have any IP based links
You don't have any remote images linked... you should add them as attachments
You don't have sentences like "buy now and save"
Another thing is that if you are saying you are from
.....@hotmail.com
but you are sending it from a different outgoing SMTP some servers know what IPs' hotmail messages come from and will not deliver it because it knows it didn't originate from a Hotmail server.... I know for a fact Hotmail won't deliver messages that claim to be from a Hotmail account if it didn't come from one of their servers....might be the same for Gmail and others..

That is where I usually go to see if our mailserver is on a blacklist.
Some major ISPs, such as Comcast, are/have been blocking IP addresses of alleged spammers, and an innocent IP might be within that block. (It is a somewhat tedious process to get Comcast to delist an innocent IP address... ) The easiest way to know if an ISP is blocking is found in the bounced message.
