We send daily mass emails to our customers (~30,000+ emails per day). We have problems with Hotmail users receiving our emails. Sometimes the email goes to the Junk folder, but often it will got to their inbox, but the content is blocked so the user sees a message saying "This email was blocked and may be dangerous". If an email is sent to GMAIL it is usually not blocked, but it does show up as from "Uknown" instead of the company.
Please be advised I've done the following:
1. No RBLs Checked on - http://multirbl.valli.org/
2. We do have SPF records published
3. We do have reverse
DNS setup
4. Our company even signed up for the Junk Mail Reports Program at Hotmail
Here is a sample header, I've noticed the X-SID-Result and the X-AUTH-Result both FAIL every time at Hotmail:
