My ex- colleague wrote a basic aspx contact form for one of our hotel clients before leaving, all has been fine with it (as far as i know)until a hosting issue this week. It basically just sends form details onto the hotels email address.
When sending a test mail this week I noticed that although the email was received without any issues st the hotel end - their reply to my email address was marked as spam via my macs mail filter.
I should point out that the email address i used to test the form was a yahoo address which is added to my imacs mail account, when checking yahoo itself it wasn't in the spam folder and was displayed in the inbox as suspected. - it was only highlighted as spam (yellow color)on the imac. So hopefully I'm worrying about very little!
This is a last min worry prior to going on holiday! - basically I don't understand much about mailouts - (I'm a designer who wishes he's never taken this job on!) i just wanted to confirm whether the spam issue is anything to worry about and if so whether its a problem at the hotels end or with the form?
I'm hoping that the forms done its job by getting the mail to them so either just a fussy iMac which has a problem with their reply address or something else not related to the contact form itself.. If this is the case is there any advice i can offer them of anything they can add to the reply to stop it being spammed?
If anyone could offer any quick advice to save my piece of mind prior to going away - I'd be very greatful!
Thanks
Update: following the comments below - to clarify - the contact form sends a email to the hotel with the customers question and comments - this is received without issue.
The issue appears to be when the hotel reply to the enquiry their reply spammed for me (mac only). The mx records for the email point to the previous domain and the site is hosted with us - the previous designer has control panel access for the DNs settings.

I'm trying to get Microsoft to approve an Web addin that takes a user's email attachments and pushes them to our Web Application. We have some very robust testing notes (up to the max in the free form text box that is) and it includes access to an Office 365 mail account, which in the first submission attempt they told me was required.
In this recent attempt they sent back a response that we had incomplete testing notes:
Your submission did not include all information needed for successful
verification and testing of your offer. We were unable to login to
your Outlook account. Please see the attached (CannotLogin) image.
Please include all necessary instructions and resources for successful
verification and testing in the Notes for certification field when
re-submitting your offer. The Notes for certification field is
available on the Review and Publish page when you are editing your
offer listing.
That's it. They've never made any attempt to reach out to ask to sign in, but this seems to be required in testing. I'm wondering what we do to get this submission through. Do we leave out the email account to test with completely and have them test with one of their own accounts? Or do we put instructions in our submission explicitly to reach out to us for account verification? All we need them to do to test this is have some email with some attachments and use our credentials to our hosted web app (in our testing notes) to push that information to us.
** This is Microsoft's recommended source for support, which is odd, we've tried other forums to try to reach out. I'm aware this question may be 'off topic' according to SO guidelines. I've found that they've responded on Stackoverflow in better fashion.
**** Update ****
The submission attempt failed again. We included a specific email in our submission with test data in the account. Following screenshots explain that the requirement is an Office 365 account. Are we supposed to include an Organization domain specific office 365 account?
The validation team use their own test accounts to confirm the sign up for an account flow and the majority of the testing. If there is any features that require an account with unlocked features, say from a paid for account - that needs to be provided by the add-in submitter. If a large amount of configuration is required or a large amount of test data needs to be present in the account, they will use the provided account. They must be able to log in and use that provided account and as they validate a large amount of add-ins per day, there is no method to contact partners mid-validation. It is the add-in submitters responsibility to ensure a test account is provided and that that account can be accessed.
TLDR: Is it possible to email a login button which will open a web page and enter the appropriate user information into the username/password fields? Is it possible to embed this within an HTML button, or possibly in SQL injection? If so, where should I start my research to make this happen?
OK, so what I am tasked with is generating the billing lists for about 2000 non-technical users. Currently we use a third party billing site which does not have an API or any way to authenticate users from the URL heading. What we have been doing is using mail-merge to email users their username and password along with a link to the billing site. This is great, except that our users are... special. We get dozens of phone calls a day from elderly users who can't copy/paste the given information into the website.
What I am looking for is someone to point me in the right direction for making an email click here button that will open the web page, enter the username and password (from a CSV/XML of usernames/passwords) and click enter.
I'd even settle for opening the webpage with their credentials filled into the appropriate fields. Is there a way to do this? What is the best way to go about this?
Before we get into best practices/security, CC information isn't stored on the site, and the only user info view-able is the invoice, so security isn't a huge concern here since the users can't set their own passwords (username / password generated from static fields in another database silo).
Not looking for someone to do this project for me, but perhaps a few friendly pointers in the right direction for how to do this.
Is it possible to email a login button which will open a web page and enter the appropriate user information into the username/password fields?
Not unless either:
The website is specifically designed to allow that. Since you said it was a third party side, then you would have to ask the people who wrote it.
The site suffered from an XSS security vulerability. (Explaining how to search for one would be too broad for a SO answer, searching for one would be illegal pretty much everywhere).
I have latest contact 7 form installed. It will not send any messages to my email I'm not sure what's going on. It's not going to spam either just nothing happens. I'm not sure how to fix it. Please could anyone help me with this?
Showing the green border message means that the PHP function for sending the mail has certainly completed successfully. So if you can’t receive the mail, it’s highly possible that the mail has been kidnapped or killed after that.
If you can check the log of your mail server, it could give you some clues. Spam filter often causes this kind of problem.
Ok so that title is not the most informative, but I'm having a hard time describing whats going on.
The Context:
I have a C# application that manages a bunch of contacts. Using the Outlook/exchange web service (EWS) managed API I am able to create an exchange contact with the email addresses and phone numbers and all that.
This is as a replacement of a service based Active-Directory based person list (that was then linked to in outlook) also developed by us.
The Problem:
After removing the old active directory list this started happening.
Whenever you select a contact from my new (ews based) list (in a to: field in ta new email) it would look liked it started to auto resolve. Then it displays the message that the mail cannot be sent because the email doenst exist anymore or is not valid.
If you check the autocomplete dropdown for that contact it now displays something like this: peter keutels <8b620d77d1df4bf0b7aad23f4632a503-peterkeutels#email.adres>
and in the NDA it lists the recipient as Exchange+20Administrative+20Group+20+28FYDIBOHF23SPDLT+29_cn=Recipients_cn=8b620d77d1df4bf0b7aad23f4632a503-Peter+20Keutels#COMPANY.OFFICE
instead of just peterkeutels#email.adress
We tried clearing autocomplete, disabling auto-resolve. recreating outlook accounts...
I am totaly lost with this. I feel like this might just be an outlook problem. And in that case I probably should post this in another website. But I created the problem by using EWS. I hope I can fix it with EWS as well..
After removing the old active directory list this started happening.
The first thing I would check is the contacts themselves if you look at the contacts with a MAPI editor like OutlookSpy of MFCMapi and take a look at the EmailAddress properties for the Contact you may find these Contacts have the Ex address of the List your removed. (In that case you need to fix the contacts).
We tried clearing autocomplete
What method did you use and what version of Outlook are you using ? on later versions of Outlook this gets stored as an FAI item in the Mailbox so you might want delete that Item eg http://www.msoutlook.info/question/backup-and-restore-autocomplete
(There also the suggested contacts folder and OWA also has a seperate AutoComplete)

I am going to develop an asp.net website. My problem is think that now my site is published on the internet. 100 Users are already logged to my website. And they opened customer registration form in the website. So we know that when user log to a website he is sending a get request for the specific page. Then the server is sending that page in HTML format and it destroy the page from the server side.
So think that after server sent the customer registration form to the user I am going to do a update to my website. What I am doing is removing some input fields from the customer registration form. So imagine that at the user's end he can see 10 textboxes but my updated version will only contain 5 textboxes. So now what? What is going to happen? Is this lead to an error?
I just took a small example. Think that this situation occur in the middle of a transaction.
What is the scenario that use to update a website that already published and always have online users?.
Just Recycle the Application pool, this will make a new request for the online users. Like a fresh start.
