I was getting a bounce-back for this agent forever! I found three different emails- all bouncebacks! then I figured it out- my email was too long, so the security filter got suspicious and thought it was SPAM. When I just sent the query letter, without any novel excerpt pasted in the body of the email, it went right through. She requested the full ms same day.

I've tried a few WME agents now, I'm getting the same error message for all of them.

I've been trying to query this agent for a few months, but keep getting this error message back: 554 Email rejected due to security policies
I'm sending from a gmail account, and haven't had this problem with any other emails. Anyone else having this problem?
