bruce johnson Report post Posted May 28, 2009 I haven't had this happen before. I have had three emails rejected today being sent to or replied to MSN.com and hotmail.com emaill addresses. Two of these came from LW.net readers, one asking for contact information for a supplier. If you two read this, I am not ignoring you, just can't get through your email system's filters. PM me through the board or phone me through the number on my website linked in my signature. Here is the message I am getting - ...."(reason: 550 SC-001 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons.

What I can read and understand is that my ISP has to apply and jump through some hoops to prove to Hotmail that their customers are worthy of being able to send emails to hotmail and msn accounts. Am I reading it right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johanna Report post Posted May 28, 2009 It could mean that a spammer used fire2wire as an ISP and got the whole ISP on the blacklist by MSN, or it could be that MS had a hiccup yesterday. I would call fire2wire and report the issue. They may be able to take care of it on their level, especially if more than one customer complains. You could also set up an email address using your domain name, or use a gmail account, and bypass fire2wire in the meantime for the mail you want to get through. Everyday I get to fill out a couple of forms with CAPCHA so that members can get LW mail. When they join, their spam blocker kicks in and sends me an email to be sure LW has a human on duty. Some people aren't aware that they even have spam blocking on their account, courtesy of their ISP, or like in your case, their email provider. A call to fire2wire is the first step to resolving this, I think. Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
