Email Address Blocked

19 years ago

I have Verizon and a friend says suddenly her emails to me are coming back and it says Verizon has blocked and banned her address because of spam. What's up with this? I wrote to the white list to remove the block and Verizon says it will have to contact her server and investigate. This has never happened before. Has anyone else had this experience? I'm just curious as to why this happened since we've been emailing back and forth for years.

There may be a ban on all email addresses originating within her ISP. My company, for instance blocks all emails originating from AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail.

Thanks, Pkponder, I recently switched to Verizon FIOS so maybe that's one of the reasons. However, I've had it about 2 weeks and this is the first time it has happened. Strangely, her emails are being accepted now.

Pondnut - you missed the boat here! I may have more available but for trade later in the season. Just waiting to see what the colors of those that have to bloom yet. I am hoping there may be a couple of whites that I can also put up for trade. Cath

Welcome back to OUR WORLD, Charlene! Glad you finally got back in! AUTODIDACT Both Charlene and I have tried to email you, and the comcast address isnt working for either of us. Please PM one of us with a different address to try or enable PMing on GW so se can contact you that waybut I suspect Charlene would rather send her address directly to an email address, rather than running it thru the GW system. LAURA 42 AND PHLOXY MARY, we still need email addresses for you so we can send you the address and directions. Please PM Charlene or reply to the email I sent you via GW. Charlene, if youre able to contact any of the last 3 above, let me know, and if I do, Ill let you know. The weather reports now are for mid 60's to 70, depending on whos doing the forecasting, but still only a slight chance for rain, so still sounding pretty good! See you all Saturday, Skybird

What you may well find is that the entire ISP is not banned but more likely the one server they are allowing Spam to emanate from. Your friend could well send the returned email right back and it could be delivered.

Have your friend right click on a returned header then click Properties/Details/ Message source. Bring it up to full screen for easy viewing and have a look. She might see a link she can go to that explains who is dong the blocking. A company called SORBS is big into this stuff, I had problems way back but it all seems cured now thankfully.
