My service provider, Comcast, was blacklisted by the service the company used to filter email and Internet traffic SPAM. It wasn't just me and my address, it was any email from a Comcast address. I tried sending it through my gmail and hotmail accounts and it still got bounced. I filled out the appeal form for the service that was blocking me but there was nothing I could do because I didn't speak for Comcast. I contacted Comcast and was told they were aware of it and working to correct the problem. Several days later it was fixed but meanwhile I had lost the job to somebody else.

Another time a Canadian friend sent me a joke about Viagra. I replied by using reply which sent my response and his original message back to him telling him it was a good joke along with some other chit-chat. The email got bounced back and the reason was I had been blacklisted as a "known spammer". I flipped! I guess the word "Viagra" in the email combined with animated emoticons he used which contained an active link to a site to download them to add to your email combined and got me banned from sending emails through his ISP. It took a week and several phone calls plus emails from both of us before I was unbanned and could email him again. Throughout it all he was able to email me. I just couldn't email him. Again, all email accounts I used were blocked

Yet another friend's ISP had begun using a nes filtering service called Barracuda and I had a hell of a time emailing him almost anything because it got bounced. I sent dozens of complaints to his ISP and to Barracuda. Nobody ever replied back but eventually the problem went away.

I am still really sore over the job thing.
