We are currently seeing emails from external customers being marked as spam in SA when they come from an ISP called Shaw. I have been talking to their tech support about these emails as I think that this is all on their end due to the format of the email. As a Shaw customer myself. I sent an email from my account (through their web interface) and here is the message headers

I have asked them to either properly format the HTML or make it plain text, which is not something they say can be done. Has anyone had experience with IPlanet that would know if there is some setting that they could adjust? I know that I can whitelist them, but we prefer that they would fix their system rather than we have to maintain a whitelist. Hopefully I have enough information for someone to assist.
