Thanks for the replies.
I use Kaspersky for internet security and I haven't changed any settings. Anyway, the problem seems to be only with a handful of recipients (as far as I can tell, 2 in Ireland and 3 in Portugal).
I've sent all the recipients emails from my wife's email address and have asked them to check their junk mail folders and add me to their safe senders list. The one I'm most concerned about is the company that looks after my apartment in Portugal and I've had several discussions with them about adding me to their safe senders list, but nothing seems to have worked.
I've also spoken to my ISP, but I'm using an old email address from my previous ISP (I moved about four months ago) and they told me I'd have to talk to my old ISP about it. I'm planning to do that this evening.
Thanks again
Homer
