Some Emails being blocked
Some emails get through to me (Windows ME and Outlook Express 6), but others,
including those from ebay, do not. I suspect my system is blocking them somehow, but I do not have a firewall as such, just Lavasoft Adaware anti Spam, and a reputable anti virus setup. My ISP sent me a test email that got through straight away, so I can't blame them! Has anyone any clues as to how i unravel this as it has got me beat (I think I'm in the right forum, but apologise if not..its my first post on this forum) -- Timbo (Somewhere deep in the heart of rural England) |

Unless you have an email account with another provider, you won't have a good view of what is happening with the email you aren't getting. Even if you do have such an account, it might not be affected as the eBay email is. Unless somebody at eBay is willing to look through their logs for bounces. As good a group as any, I suppose; but there is also a "microsoft.public.internet.mail" group. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |

Is your quality found on this list?? Thanks everyone...I have a part solution. I cancelled my ebay account and reregistered, and lo and behold emails re-appeared. Likewise with Paypal I closed the account, and gave my reasons on a feedback..and for some reason their emails began to appear. I also closed my anti spam programme temporarily. This still does not explain why some emails from friends with no possible 'spam' content have failed to get through, though most that fail do have attachments ( modest size documents, not photos)..which might get them caught in a spam trap possibly...As I said I'm mystified by the whole thing....It a UK ISP owned by one of our major Utility comglomerates. They deny any problems with my account. Thanks again |

Yes, I am, and for more info if you are a subscriber, look at the newsgroups 0.verizon.adsl, 0.verizon.discussion.general, and 0.verizon.email (or something to that effect) those arent available off-net and only on the news.verizon.net server you have to authenticate. more info is on broadbandreports.com. -- "Time will bring to light whatever is hidden; it will cover up and conceal what is now shining in splendor."

You may want to check the spam filter on your email program that you use, as
sometimes the eBay emails are filtered as spam. "Timbo" wrote in message ... Some emails get through to me (Windows ME and Outlook Express 6), but others, including those from ebay, do not.
