I'd been sending mails via my phone for months before I discovered that there were not really through and those ones sent to me by friends via phone I couldn't get either and I'm still facing the problem now! You people should do something fast about it.

I began hearing from people that they had not heard from me for a long time. I had been sending out jokes with up to 200 names in BCC. I remembered AOL kickbacks mentioning the reason being headers with more than 32kb in size. My 200 names were in groups of various size. I measured a test email with 85 names in my largest group and found [in properties, and before I put any text in] that the 85 names were 25.5 kb in size. I did my emails in three bunches with the 85 by itself, and the rest in two other emails. They all go trough now with out a probllem. Size was my problem.

I am trying for days now to send an email or reply to any of my friends I have received the emails from. There is no chance for my emails to get through! Once I click send, this is the notification that popps up in my screen: "Are you sure you want to nevigate away from this page? You haven't sent this message. Are you sure you want to discard it? Press OK to continue or Cancel to stay on the current page." Regardless of what I press (either Ok or Cancel) it will take me to the HTTP 403 (The webside declined to show this webpage) and my message never gets through!

I have been emailing my husband's work email and numerous colleugues at his work and all of a sudden - my emails are being returned undelivered saying Barracuda spam firewall has refused?? can you clarify.

Sounds like something about your email looks like spam. There's no way for me to know what, you'll need to check with the people at the other end.

I am unable to receive e-mails from [email address removed] or [email address removed]. They din't bounce or show up as junk mail. Both accounts are usually used on the same computer. Any suggestions?

Thanks

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

As outlined in the article, 9 times out of 10 it's over-agressive spam
filtering.

I had this happen myself when someone sent me an email - their email
service (MSN Hotmail) puts an ad at the bottom of every email, and the
spam filter triggered on some of the words in that email.

Yet another reason not to use a free email account that adds advertising
to your emails.

See if you can whitelist her somehow by adding to your address book or
however else your ISP supports configuring your spam filters.

Good luck!

I have been having trouble recieving email from my sister-in-law in New Mexico. She has an MSN email address, I am recieving email from Florida and Missouri. Should I contact my server or what?
I have contacted Microsoft about the problem, since they are the providers. It is getting very frustrating. I am hoping you can help me. She thinks I have blocked her from my computer, and she mentioned something about a filter in the letter she sent me about this problem. Please can you help me?

Some ISPs doing a lookup on the IP address of the SMTP server sending the mail, are not just checking for blacklisted addresses, but looking at the resolved DNS name. If it looks like something that might by dynamically assigned (e.g. user-0cet4xp.cable.mindspring.com)it will reject it as a potential bot.

This causes small businesses with a DSL or cable IP connection that have their own SMTP server headaches. They either have to get their ISP to change how the IP address is resolved (for static addresses only) or relay mail through the ISP's SMTP relay.

When I reply to my mother's email, she doesn't receive my message. We both have Verizon accounts. My father receives his and they're in the same house, just different email addresses. Any idea what's happening?

Thanks!

I *wish* I had an answer for you. I also help moderate a mailing list that has been having massive delivery problems to AOL addresses. It's unclear what we're supposed to do to get our mail delivered.

AOL has information here http://postmaster.aol.com/trouble/index.html but it hasn't helped us much. We started recommending that our subscribers having problems get alternate email addresses. See also http://ask-leo.com/should_i_leave_aol.html

Hi Leo,

My emails with a 'aol' address always get returned?

'county999@aol.com' is one of them...

We had recently been black listed due to spam being sent from our domain without our knowledge, this has since been rectified and we have been removed from these black list, I wonder if we are on aol's black list, how do we get off the list?

Many Thanks

Nope. It's very difficult to find someone's email address. Typically they must tell you.

When the messages are returned to her there should be some kind of diagnistic information included. If you can get that it would help diagnose the problem.

Dear Sirs.:Please be advised that when corresponding with my sister, who has Earthlink as a service provider, she can retrieve my E-Mail messages, but is unable to send them to me, as they are returned, despite the fact that I have not blocked them off my address book as "spam".I do not know what is the best alternative, for all mail has been "unblocked",yet she cannot get through. Her E-Mail is: hsteyer@iopener.net Thanks for your assistance in this matter, and hope to get a favorable response.Tommy Steyer.
