does hotmail simply no longer allow emails to be sent to AOL members. every fucking time and now i got a pissed off client screaming at me at 1030 cuz the email never arrived.

:not me:

I haven't had any problems with my Hotmail account for years. seems that if they'd do anything to AOL, it'd be preventing them from sending messages to Hotmail accounts, due to all the spam

Re: hotmail annoying the hell

my last 4 emails to AOL members have failed. do me a favor and check your PM

I don't know if they have started it yet but they were going to implement Sender-ID:

[quote=slashdot]If your e-mail does not have a Sender ID, Microsoft wants to junk your message. Somewhere after November, MSN and Hotmail will consider it as spam. Sender ID is a specification for verifying the authenticity of e-mail by ensuring the validity of the server from which the e-mail came. Some experts feel that 'Sender ID' is not an accepted standard and has many shortcomings. Some also feel that Microsoft is trying to strong-arm the industry into the adoption of an incomplete and not accepted standard.[/quote]

The other thing you might want to have your AOL buddies check is to make sure you didn't end up on a spam mail list. If you email didn't get bounced back to you thats probably the case. Have them check their bulk mail or spam mail folder for you email.

Re: hotmail annoying the hell

work is aol personal is hotmail and side business is gmail.

for some reason every time i send out from hotmail to aol it gets delayed then fails.

Re: hotmail annoying the hell

this thread should have been called AOL annoying as hell. not only would you be bringing the attention to the real problem AOL's email system, but it rhymes too. AOL / hell. agh you get it. :roll:

Re: hotmail annoying the hell

looks like they can't handle their own popularity anymore...

a couple months ago i got a message from them saying they will no longer provide Outlook support, unless you're like a 2-year member, which i am, so no problem here... but seriously, you'd think they'll start expanding their features over time, while all they're doing is cutting down on the server load...

EDIT: this was regarding to hotmail, not GheyOL

Re: hotmail annoying the hell

ditch the hotmail for gmail.

not had a single problem since i made the switch a few months ago.
