Hotmail

[mushroomz]

Hello. I just want to make a notice for other members using Hotmail. If you've registered for this forum using a Hotmail email, it will take hours for the validation to get to your inbox. And sometimes it doesn't even get through even if you resend the validation many times. This is because Hotmail has spam filters. So your best bet is to use a Yahoo or Gmail email, the validation code will be received instantly.

 

 

Anyway, just a warning. I personally waited too long for my validation to get to my Hotmail inbox and just made a new account with a Gmail email. Hope I don't get in trouble for making a new account.

Actually, DJBOB, i have tried many times to send mai to my grandmother from my accont and it goes thru and outlook has no prb. sending it but she never gets it, i typed her addy in correctly, i even used webmail once (thought it was outlook) and she still never got it. Then i realized its not limited to her account, but to any yahoo account. I just never comes period, and its not in the spam or bulk folder either.

Hmmm... does it work if you try sending through WebMail instead of Outlook?

We're talking about outgoing mail, though. Usually, different servers (services) are used for outgoing/incoming. I restarted the outgoing mail server, try now.

I agree with mushroomz. Hotmail seems to be the only email provider that gets problems like this. Like gmail and yahoo, it doesn't happen with.

Yeah, Hotmail's spam block is a little... overkill, so to say.
