Emails being rejected by hotmail - now BT is my IS...

Hi guys
I've used Sky for years - and recently switched to BT Infinity - and am very happy generally.
However, I am getting emails bounced when I send to hotmail accounts - with the following error:
[email protected]
SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<my own domain> SIZE=26764:
host mx4.hotmail.com [65.54.188.110]: 550 SC-001 Unfortunately, messages from 213.5.178.201 weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list. You can also refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors.
I have a domain registered and use that to send email.
Is the issue with BT or my domain name/host?
Thanks

Hi chalkstorm1
The problem is with your email provider not BT. Someone on the email server has been sending out spam and the Hotmail filters have picked up a large volume of traffic from that server and put it on a black list.
A short email to mail live explaining what has happen may help. It also might be worth looking at the hotmail help page. It happened to me last year and my hosting company had to ban the spammer and then send a report in to get the server back on the white list.

Email being rejected as spam

HP OfficeJet 6500A on a Win 7 Pro System.
I've read the other responses to people having this problem and found nothing that resolved the problem.
I've sent several emails to my printer and they were rejected as spam and deleted.
The emails contain an MS Word document that is about 13k and a jpg file that is about 15k.
The subject of the email id "Hi" or "test"
These are simple files that I am using to test how the system works and it appears that it doesn't.
Has anyone gotten this to work?
Your help is appreciated.

Its mainly to filter out things like small adds or smilies in signatures. If they werent spam filtered and someone had say 5 of those on the signature of an email, a page would print out for each. The other thing to look out for if it is being rejected as spam is that you have no one in the CC and BCC fields. The next most common factor in spam is the message being sent to dozens of people at once, so you can only send an eprint email to the eprint address, not to others at the same time.
If it still fails after this try sending just an image, and see if that has ant effect. The next step would be possibly trying another email address, as sometimes they add things in to the signature without you knowing.

Emails being rejected by Server

When trying to reply or even starting a new email, it rejects the email and places it in the outbox indicating "The recipient [email address] was rejected by the server because it doesn't allow relaying."
I have three different email POP accounts and it happens on all three. I have an Iphone 4S.
Any ideas oin what I can do to remedy?
Thank you!

I ended up adding the user name and password in the outgoing server settings which showed it being optional.
I did this with all three accounts and the messahes in the outbox automatically went.
Thanks for the help.

Verizon emails being rejected by Windows Live Hotmail servers

Hi
Since yesterday, Tues. Sept. 22nd. there has been a problem sending out emails to my friend who uses q.com DSL which is Qwest. They use Windows Live hotmail servers for their email. Yesterday, I got a bounced notice from Windows Live Hotmail. This is a copy of the bounced email notice I got today.
Reason: Server rejected MAIL FROM address.
Diagnostic code: smtp;550 SC-004 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. A block has been placed against your IP address because we have received complaints concerning mail coming from that IP address. If you are not an email/network admin please contact
Remote system: dns;mx2.hotmail.com (TCP|206.46.173.15|63065|65.55.92.136|25)
On Tues. I sent my friend 1 email which came back to me. I had been using port 25 after Verizon had a problem with port 587 a few weeks ago. I changed the port back to 587 and resent the email.and that time it went thru. Today, I sent my friend another email and it got bounced back again. I had sent it to his q.com address. I resent it again, but this time to his live.com address and I got the same bounced message back but with a different remote system since it was live.com this time. I tied a 3rd time and the same thing.
I've had problems before with Verizon and hotmail sending me back bounced notices. I went to look at the Live Hotmail Forum for problems with hotmail. I just looked now and there are like 7 pages of people who have Verizon email addresses that are getting blocked by Windows Live Hotmail servers. From what i glanced thru. it seems that Verizon email servers have been placed on Hotmail's black list. There are actually 1000''s of people complaining. Some have called up Verizon tech support to be told that this is a hotmail server problem. From what I have gathered from glancing at those posts, there is like nothing being done about this except placing blame on each other. This is affecting both residential and business accounts. This is affecting I guess Qwest DSL service also I guess since my friend uses Qwest and I suppose if anyone knows people who use Qwest, they won't be able to email them either. This is a tremendous issue that needs to be resolved quicly. I am surprised I haven't seen any posts in this Forum about this issue. I haven't tried anyone else who has a hotmail addy since I really don't know any that check their hotmail accounts.
Can someone from Verizon please get together with Windows Live Hotmail and get this fixed ASAP.
Here is the address of Windows Live Hotmail and you can see all the people who have posted there from Verizon who are having problems. I don't know how many people this is affecting, but I want and have to be able to reach my friend by email. Please get this problem fixed. If it is a problem on Hotmail's side, please work with them to get this fixed instead of shifting blame on each other. Please someone in authority get back to me and get Verizon and Hotmail working again, actually, I guess in my case it is Qwest and Verizon which indirectly is Verizon and Hotmail. From what I can gather it's affecting just about all of Verizon... Please help ! ! ! ! ! Thank you....

Yes, I know it says that my ip was blocked. However, on Tues. I tried sending an email to my friend that I mail every day.The first email got bounced back. I resent it and it went thru ok and he received it. On Wed. I sent him another email and it got bounced back. He has a q.com email address which uses Windows Live Hotmail servers. He also has a live. com address. Same thing happened with both addresses. On Wed. I resent that email 2 more times and it got bounced back. I waited a whle and resent it for a 4th time and didn't get a bounce back. I sent one today and no bounce back. It is a sporadic problem and apparently Hotmail did something to their servers or filters on Tues. which affected Verizon customers. Of course not all of them but a large number of them. If you check out the Windows Live Hotmail help site, you will see a notice on top of the site now saying that there are problems with sending emails using their servers. I was able to send emails to some other people last night too without a problem. Their error codes probably don't have one that would say blocked a particular ISP. I've had this range of ips for quite some time now also. Odd, that I only saw people in mass from Verizon complaining about getting blocked and not from other isp's. You will find posts about this in DSL Reports Forum also in both the DSL section of the forum and the Fios section under the Verizon Forum. I am hoping that it might be fixed now since that 4th attempt went thru and my email went thru the first time today also. I wasn't being blocked to all hotmail accounts as far as I know. I don't even have a hotmail account since I just use Verizon account basically. As I say, I hope it's fixed now. From what I heard about the problem is that it was the Verizon servers that send out mail that were on the black list, but I doubt that also.

Exchange email being forwarded from hotmail

Hotmail is taking over as the email client when responding from an Enterprise Exchange account. I getting a header "[email protected] on behalf of XYZ (Exchange Email)

Hi Andy, a couple of things to check :
When you're sending emails to your printer do you have any other addressees in the "To:" field? If so the service will reject these messages as spam. If you want to include other addresses on the messages use the BCC field
If you have opted to set the printers ePrint Settings to Allowed Senders Only, ensure the Hotmail email account you're trying to send from is included in that list of allowed senders.
Let me know how you get on.

IPad email being rejected

If u r sending via your ISP email account using SMTP then try sending via web email (or visa versa). You could also try setting up an alternative SMTP in your mail application. A lot of web email accounts let u use an email client with pop/smtp settings. For example, I have 3 email accounts one of which is with my ISP the other 2 r web based one of which is yahoo. I do not use the yahoo outgoing SMTP though but rather my ISP's. Still think it is probably BT Yahoo giving grief though

Was is my email being rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying? Email was sent from my iPhone.

Why was my email that I sent from my iPhone rejected by the server because is does not allow relaying? The email that was sent is a yahoo.com address.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name +Password under Outgoing Mail Server.

How to stop emails being deleted from Hotmail server

Since the new IOS update I can't seem to choose whether I want to keep my emails in the Hotmail server or not if I delete them from my iPhone. Does anyone know how to stop that from happening?

Did you ever find out how to do this? I am having the same situation. Thanks

ICloud email being rejected by recipient servers

HELP!!! I recently began using a new iCloud email address and have run across a problem when sending emails to some but not all recipients. So far emails sent to a comcast and a craigslist address get bounced by the receiving server. This problem is occuring on all three of my devices: macbook pro (Mavericks), iPhone (iOS7), iPad (iOS7) and when using the iCloud web site.
The two errors I have received are:
Recipient: Comcast
Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
Recipient address: [email protected]
Reason: Rejection greeting returned by server.
Diagnostic code: smtp;554 imta04.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net comcast 17.164.101.34 Comcast requires that all mail servers must have a PTR record with a valid Reverse DNS entry. Currently your mail server does not fill that requirement. For more information, refer to: ht

Recipient: Craigslist

Remote system: dns;mxi3p.craigslist.org (TCP|17.164.101.34|57640|208.82.236.82|25)
I have spent hours trying to solve this one and have come up empty. There is one work around that only works on the macbook that involves using a different outgoing smtp server (I used gmail). However this isn't an option on the iOS devices or on the web.
Any help solving this one would be most appreciated.

Try contacting iCloud support. This sounds like a mail server configuration issue.

Reply emails being rejected by server

Wwhen responding to an email via iphone 4s i get the following message which blocks my reply "the sender address was rejected by the server"

It sounds like there is a problem with the setup of your SMTP server in your mail account on the phone. Check those settings to make sure they are consistent with what the email provider tells you. Also, include all username and passwords in the setup, as this error is generally used when you try to access a network from an outside source.

Adobe Send emails being rejected by optonline

Optonline.net is considering my adobe send emails as spam and not delivering them. I called optonline but they keep asking me for the email script that gets returned to me when the bounce back occurs. I do not have the bounce back script because Adobe Send does not forward these scripts back to me.
WHAT DO I DO?

Hi m106191
As a workaround, You can send a copy to yourself as well and then copy the link from the email and send that link through another email.
Using that link people would be able to download what you're trying to send.

Since changing to os5, some of my emails are being rejected by trend micro software

Since I have strated using os5, i have noted that some emails that i send from the phone are being rejected by Trend Micro Systems Anti Virus softeware.
These are the same email adresses that used previously with out an issue before the upgrade.

OK, I did the following:
I read and then deleted ALL the messages waiting for me at the Tiscali server using their webmail option.
This left my Tiscali in box completely empty.
To be on the safe side, I deleted all my Email Accounts on my Mac and loaded just one, the [email protected] - i.e. my Tiscali email address. I also reset and then changed the password.
I then got Tiscali tech support to reset my mailbox.
I then crossed my fingers!
I then sent myself a number of test emails, some from the Tiscali server webmail option, some from my PC laptop and some from Mail on my beloved Mac.
I can now confirm that I can send emails from my Mac using Mail but cannot download any. All that happens when I click "Get Mail" on Mail is that the program looks at the pop3 mail server at Tiscali but doesn't see the test emails that are waiting there for me to download.
Any suggestions???
God, Tiscali Tech Support are completely rubbish!

Business emails sent are being discarded from hotmail account, it's bona-fide, how do i register it?

Business emails sent are being DISCARDED (spam/virus - none present) when I send emails to my printer's hpeprint email address. I am sending them from my HOTMAIL account.
How do I go about stopping emails being discarded from printing from bona-fide email accounts?
Thank you,

If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account, how can I setup individual notifications for each account. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work to be different than perso

If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
Thanks

Sorry you get only one notification sound for all email accounts. you can send a suggestion to apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/
