MailChannels - How do I report a 'false positive'?
Overview
Section titled “Overview”All spam filtering systems make mistakes from time to time. When a spam message is delivered instead of being blocked, this is described as a false negative. A false positive is the reverse, when the system blocks a legitimate message.
Report False Positive
Section titled “Report False Positive”If your legitimate email message is blocked by MailChannels, an error message is generated and included in the non-delivery report you receive from your mail server when an email is bounced. When you submit a false positive report, our system corrects its behavior so that similar messages will not be blocked in the future.
Please submit a false positive report by sending an email to support@mailchannels.com along with the following details:
- Sender email address
- Authenticated username of the sender (for example, x-authuser)
- Recipient email address
- Error message
- Copy of the compromised account notification, if received
To ensure a faster response from Support, please provide as much information as possible about the issue.
