Cannot receive emails from specific addresses

I am not able to receive messages from a couple of specific senders, I can email them, they cannot respond or send a new email.
I am wondering if I accidentally bounced that email back as I have been having to bounce multiple spam lately and could have included an email from them. I tried to find a way to look at my bounced emails and cannot find - is there a way to look that up? And if so, can you reverse a bounce?

You can't reverse bounced message.
Since spammers don't provide a valid sending or return email address, using the bounce feature on spam is a complete waste of your time.
When used on spam, all you get is a return email error message indicating the bounced message was not deliverable.
Some spammers use a valid email address from their "known good" email address list to appear as the sending email address for their garbage. Using the bounce feature on such a spam message will work but you are not sending the bounced message back to the spammer - it is going to some unsuspecting person who is not aware their email address is being improperly used by a spammer.
Bouncing a message sent from a legitimate source will not prevent receiving messages from the sender in the future. The only thing a bounced message does is indicate to the sender that your email address is not valid so hopefully the sender will not attempt to send you more messages in the future.

What exactly does they cannot respond or send a new email to you mean?
Do these senders successfully send you a message but receive a return email error message indicating the message was not deliverable or something else?
If the former, what does the return email error message indicate?

Not receiving emails from specific address

I'm having problems receiving emails from a friend of mine. They can receive my emails from my btinternet.com account ok but all replies to me are never arriving. They can send ok to another of my email addresses. They do not even receive any kind of error notification. How do I resolve this please?

Thanks. I asked them to send the last reply to both my email addresses. I can see from the email that they are using the correct address so it can't be that. Their ISP is fasthosts. Maybe they've been blacklisted? How can I tell?
Hi.
Do you have a gmail or hotmail account they can send to ?
Have you checked the spam folder, in case they have ended up there ?
If I may be as bold to say, Fasthosts are not exactly clean in removing spammers. I have reported many to them over the years, and they ignore everything. They don't even reply. I'm afraid it's been noticed :-

The report doesn't say that spamming in the UK is against the law.
Note that I am not saying this is the reason for any emails not being received, but there is a possibility.

TS3276 I don't receive email from specific senders. Any idea why?

I do not receive email from specific senders. I have to enter the name of a person I think might have sent me something under Search at the top right, in order to see if they have sent me email. Yet I receive email from most senders. Cannot explain this, finding it very frustrating.

several possibilities:
It could be rule, as MrHoffman suggests
it could be that those senders have been flagged as junk mail by Mail.app on your machine
It could be that they are flagged as junk mail by your mail server

Cannot receive emails from a specific sender

attempting to receive emails from a email address i.e. [email protected] Hav tried adding contact lists and have attempted changing filters in Apple mail, but still not getting the email . How can I solve this?

Check and see if the e-mail is on the e-mail provider's web site. It may be getting rejected by the e-mail provider.

Not receiving email from certain addresses

Hi, I have a problem of not receiving email from a number of email addresses. I don't have a spam folder ... not sure what is causing this. The sender receives a msg back that my email address has 'fatal errors and message cannot be delivered'. My quota is fine and I receive other emails.
Any idea where I can rectify the problem?
Thanks
Magz

I suppose I should list my external DNS settings as well. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but according to DNSCog, the mailexchangers IP is not reporting reverse DNS. Again, I don't have DNS set up on the server, so I don't know if that is causing the issue.
DNS is hosted on everydns.com.
*Host - Type - Value - MX - TTL*
*.domain.tld - A - [My IP address] - - 3600
domain.tld - A - [My IP address] - - 3600
domain.tld - MX - mail.domain.tld - 10 - 3600
servername.domain.tld - A - [My IP address] - - 3600

Cannot receive text from specific person....

I can receive texts from my husbands iPhone 4S, but he cannot receive texts from me using an iPhone 4S.... I have already done a "hard reboot" and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions to help me out?

Are the messages green (SMS) or blue (iMessage)? If SMS, probably a carrier problem. If iMessage, probably an iMessage configuration problem on his account, be sure you are addressing the message to the iMessage phone number or email address configured in the settings on his device.

Don't receive email from specific sender

We're not receiving emails from a specific address, not in regular mail, not as junk, etc. Sender says mail has been delivered successfully, but I don't receive anything from this specific sender.

Unable to receive emails from specific domains

Hi,
One user in our company is trying to send email in different domain but

The following organization rejected your message: smtp.xxx.net
Kindly guide me how i can diagnose that there is no problem at our side because all other users are sending emails in different domain without any problem.

Not receiving emails from specific sender

I have tried many times to receive emails from one sender, both automated and support ones, but none appear in my inbox. Is there any way that this sender can have been blocked without me doing anything?
(ps: I already checked "rules" under mail preferences, and there is none)
Message was edited by: victor jahr

I have junk folder disabled, and I even created a rule now that is supposed to redirect any mails from the sender to my inbox, but still no luck
By the way, the sender I'm not receiving emails from is called Jagex, a games company.

Cannot receive email from Verizon in Thunderbird 31.5.0

Have successfully used Thunderbird with Verizon email for years.
Recently updated to Thunderbird 31.5.0. Now cannot receive any Verizon messages---but can successfully send messages.
Can receive Verizon messages on Android phone and with Verizon webmail client---Verizon account is functional.
After many attempts to debug (including 15 mins on line with Verizon tech support), deleted Verizon account in Thunderbird and created a new account. Still cannot receive messages....but can still send messages.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any advice/help.

I am really sorry if I have upset you by posting the same message twice. I only registered for the Forum this morning and this was my first message. I clicked Send before I received the email to confirm my address. I therefore assumed that the message had not gone.
I apologize for this and can assure you that I will not do it again.
If you are able could you give me some pointers as to what is happening. On looking at my Outbox it looks as though the message did go even though I got the error message.

Cannot receive email from Yahoo

I have 2 POP email accounts from Yahoo. Both have worked fine for about a year. All of the sudden on Nov 1st, I can no longer receive email only on one of the accounts with Mac Mail. The second account continues to function fine. I also have no issues accessing my mail through a browser.
So far I have done the following;
-I have verified with yahoo that all the settings are correct.
-I deleted the first account with the problem and then recreated it. When I did this it downloaded ALL the email messages on the server but only up unitl Nov 1st when I started having the issue. I received no email messages sent after Nov 1st.
-I set-up the email account on a Win XP box (same network) with Outlook Express and was able to download ALL the messages including ones after Nov 1st.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I went into Yahoo webmail and deleted a few emails on the date when I stopped receiving email. Magically, all my subsequent emails were were delivered to my MAC email client. One of the emails must have contained something that created an issue for Macmail. I have had no problems since.

1. That can happen if the other user is sending from the first user or is logged into the other user's mailbox. See if you can reproduce the issue while watching exactly what the users are doing. That may also happen if one user is forwarding
the mail by rule.
2. That can also appear to be the case when the apparent sender is forwarding mail by rule.
3. Using ADSI Edit, look at the legacyExchangeDN attribute of the users. Please post them here if you have any questions.
