PM's

[Yotehntr]

Hey Jim, I used to get an e-mail when someone PM'ed me. This stopped a couple weeks ago for some reason. I havn't changed my settings and I checked I still have it on always. I figure something got changed and someone ought to let you know.

You haven't changed your e-mail address have you?

I see your on BellSouth.net
I have more trouble with them then any other provider right now, even AOL.
Sometimes they say our notifications are spam and block them and sometimes they let them through. Regardless of contacting them numerous times to clear it, it just keeps coming back.

Sending you a PM now, so that I can watch for a bounceback, and then we'll see whats happening.

Yeah, they are blocking it Brad.
AT&T bought them out so now were dealing with that also.

Here's the bounced message from trying to PM you.
This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  bradgainey@bellsouth.net
    SMTP error from remote mail server after initial connection:
    host gateway-f2.isp.att.net [207.115.11.16]: 550-67.225.152.4 blocked by ldap:ou=rblmx,dc=att,dc=net
    550 Error - Blocked for abuse. See http://att.net/blocks

I can call them again, but it's a never ending ordeal with these assholes because every time I contact them it simply appears as though I'm worming my way through something as a known spammer.

I've got hosting clients on BellSouth also that never receive their hosting bills because BellSouth wont let them through.

The best thing to do would be to give them a call and tell them yourself that they are blocking messages to you as spam that are not spam from Fins and Fur.
That way you, the person they claim they are protecting is objecting and they'll listen to you more then they will me. I'm a spammer

I've mentioned this to other members and clients on Bellsouth, but no one wants to do it.

Ok, I'll see what I can do. Thanks Jim
