Hello Russfullcycle,


Sorry for the email issues concerning the "illegal BOM".  I did a little bit of research on this error and found this chain of posts from Gmail users:  https://support.google.com/mail/thread/18732851?hl=en


Apparently, this is a known Gmail issue.  The last comment was about using SpamExperts - which we do. We recommend sending a ticket into our live technical support team.  They will be able to troubleshoot directly at the email server and then hopefully determine the exact cause.  Sorry again for the issue.

If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.


Kindest Regards,

Arnel C.
