Hi:

For some reason I no longer can send e-mail's to any of my Hotmail or MSN addressee's. I am getting the following error:

The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'xxxxxxxxx@msn.com'. Subject ' Airshow Pics- Good Bye Tomcat', Account: 'mail.comcast.net', Server: 'SMTP.comcast.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 permit denied', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79.



I use Comcast and this problem is happening only on my Sony desktop. I have a Toshiba laptop and can send e-mail's to either Hotmail or MSN with no problem.



Thanks

This is a well-known issue. Hotmail, MSN and Yahoo routinely block e-mail
from Comcast and other ISPs as a spam reduction measure, which is somewhat
humorous when you consider that Hotmail, MSN and Yahoo are themselves the
origin of massive amounts of spam. There isn't anything you can do about
it...Hotmail and MSN are employing desperate measures to stem the flow of
spam. Correspond with Hotmail and MSN addresses from another email account.
(That is, not a Comcast account.)

Ted,

You wrong to say that "Hotmail, MSN and Yahoo are themselves the origin
of massive amounts of spam." When you check the IP address of senders
you will find that these have nothing to do with either of the names you
have suggested. I receive lots of Spam messages and the IP addresses
are that of, you guessed it, COMCAST. Comcast is actively pursuiing new
usiness and so it is prepared to take any mass mailer as their
customer. My mail server is configured to block all traffic from
COMCAST servers.

Hi:

I no longer can send any emails to Hotmail or MSN addressee's on either
computer. In addition, I tried to use Comcast's email, rather than Outlook
Express 6 and can't get through either. Getting error 550 permit denied.

I called Comcast tech support and they indicated that the Sober virus was
the basis of the problem and that they were working with Hotmail and MSN to
resolve the issue.

I appreciate your postings on this matter.
