Junk Mail Settings in Hotmail & MSN Email Services



Scope / Definition:

To give guidance and help define why Hotmail and MSN e-mail accounts may not receive the Dodge Report (DCR / EDR e-mail services). There are 4 main settings to be considered when using one of these accounts.

   Check to see if [e-mail] (DCR) or [e-mail] (EDR) are Blocked Senders.

      From the Junk E-Mail Protection screen, select Block Senders. Check and make sure that the DCR or EDR from addresses are not listed on the Block Sender List.
