Can I share it with you? Hopefully it would be another helpful example for other Mailchimpers. Thanks! I helped a client get a campaign past Postini filter! Can I share it with you?

It seems to be on a case-by-case basis, depending on the local installation of Postini, and the content of the email. @Tom – Not really, because *so* many other emails sent through MailChimp by our customers sail right through Postini.

Or, try our Inbox Inspector: http://www.mailchimp.com/add-ons/inboxinspector/ It'll tell you is a particular filter is blocking you for image-to-text imbalances.

Is this subjective? What do you use to measure, a thumb and a dart board? I send a quarterly newsletter to 600 clients at a variety of corporations. My open and click rates just went way down after a newsletter redesign so I need to determine if my image-to-text or HTML-to-text ratio is the cause. Anybody know of such a tool? Thanks!

The only time our emails get blocked by it is when we use "spammy" words like sales, etc. Which we've tried to eliminate. We do have a heavy text to images ratio and maybe that helps too. So here's another example of a Postini approved email: <a href="http://www.adbuilder.com/marketing/email_tip/email_tip.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.adbuilder.com/marketing/email_tip/email_tip.html</a> We use Postini at my company so I am glad to know how tough it is (as it is my weekly test for our email).
