Telus email blocking in line images

If an email is sent to my telus email address and contains an inline image - html markup containing an img src tag then the email is never received. 

It doesn't appear anywhere, if the telus spam filter is rejecting it then surely it should appear in my junk/spam folder or get returned as non delivered to sender?

    Have you checked to see if the email are appear 8n webmail?

      No, I'm due to migrate on 11-3-21.

      It's not consistent, sometimes an email will get through, sometimes not.

      I'm using thunderbird and also webmail.

      I'm going to wait until the migration is completed to see if that solves it.

      My concern is if telus is flagging it as spam why isn't it going to my junk folder - nothing appears automatically in my junk folder unless I put it there.

        Likely a server based filter (often updated multiple times a day) rejected the message. Unfortunately Telus is not great at sending non-delivery reports so no one gets notified.

         

        We've recently been migrated to GMail and I'm actually seeing NDR messages now. Hopefully your issue will be resolved after the migration.

  • To clarify: the img src tag calls an external web address - it is not a base 64 image....

    Also I have tested this with several other email providers and the email is always delivered,

    only telus fails to deliver it anywhere...... I would expect at least the spam/junk folder.
