Some clarification: I was recently barred from sending email. I could receive emails, but every email I tried to send generated an error saying that it was blocked because it contained 'Spam-like' data. When I contacted my ISP, I was informed that I was on a block list because I had sent enough (whatever the F that is) emails with certain words in the subject line. When I tried sending one with "test" as the subject, I was told that "test" was one of the trigger words, that if sent often, would put me on the block list. Since I use the word "test" pretty often, because I help a lot pf people with programming, 3D printing, and a few other technical subjects. So the first thing the ISP did was to send me an email asking for the email that triggered the blocking. Well, I did not have it. I thought perhaps I could find it, but I was unsuccessful. Furthermore, they wanted me to send that email in .eml format, and included instructions for putting it into .eml format. One option was: > Email client: > 1. Highlight the message in your email client. > 2. Right-click on the message and select "Save As..." > 3. Choose Mail/Mail Files (*.eml). > 4. Click Save. Of course, I not only couldn't find the message, but could not find a way in Evolution to save it as .eml. Not only that, but the copy in 'Sent' appears to not have a full set of headers. The other option was to use their web interface: > Webmail: > 1. Log in to Webmail. > 2. Go to 'Inbox' or 'Sent' > 3. Select the message. > 4. Click the 'floppy disk' icon to save the message. > 5. Click 'Ok'. Of course, there would only be a copy in one of those directories if I used the web interface to send email. They have restored my ability to send email from Evolution, but not knowing what their criteria for identifying spam is, I fear that I may use a word like 'Hello' in the subject line once too often and be barred again. I guess it really isn't urgent that I figure out what to do, other than never emptying my trash, then hoping that I can recover the email that causes the next blocking, and then hoping that it has a complete set of headers, and that I can save it in .eml format.
