This isn't a spam question as much as it's: 1. An Earthlink question 2. A mail client question
Here are my best guesses: 1. The emails are bouncing because of Earthlink's anti-spam measures. They will bounce SMTP conversations from servers for various reasons, the most common being that the sending machine does not have properly configured reverse DNS. Your aunt's friends need to contact their postmasters, and forward the bounce messages for analysis. The same people will likely have problems sending to AOL and an ever-increasing number of other sites. 2. Your aunt probably has a POP3 client installed somewhere that is downloading the email from Earthlink's server, then deleting it, thereby rendering it nonexistant via the web client. Get your hands on her machine and watch this behavior. It's not deleting itself; it's something she's doing. > -----Original Message----- > From: Harold Hallikainen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 1:57 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [SAtalk] Earthlink spam rejection question > > Recognizing this is not an SA question... but the Spam > Experts are here, so I hope someone can offer some insight. > > My aunt uses Earthlink.
