    Submitting missed spam for evaluation

    If spam is getting past our filter system to your mailbox and you would like to submit it to our team for evaluation, please submit it with the mail headers to spamadmin@mxtoolbox.com.

    Oftentimes the only way to diagnose exactly what happened to get a specific message into your mailbox is to have you send us the entire raw message. Outlook calls this the "Internet Headers" but other programs call it "Original Source" or something similar. If we request the headers from a message, here's how to send them to us using Outlook.

    1. Open the message from Outlook in a new window.
    2. On this new window menu, go to View -> Options. If you do not see options, you may have to reveal it by clicking on the two down arrows at the bottom of the menu
    3. This will have brought up the Message Options window. The last component of this is the Internet Headers. Right-click inside the headers and choose "Select All", then right-click again and choose Copy.
    4. Close the Message Options window.
    5. You should now be looking at the message window. Click on forward and address the message to support@mxtoolbox.com. In the area above the copied part of the message, Paste the Internet Headers and click Send.
    With this level of information we can trace the message's path from the sender all through our mail systems to determine exactly what happened and help solve your problem.
