hotmail - Liquid_Sky - 10-07-2009

Seems that hotmail is rejecting lots of different email addresses in some sort of recent change to combat spam. My wife's emai account was affected, and when I went to microsoft to find out why, I discovered that it seems to be a fairly widespread problem..

Thought that I would come and warn anybody here who might be in a PBEM game with somebody with a hotmail account...

Following is the error:

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;mx1.hotmail.com


No doubt microsoft will discover some sort of solution before xmas.

There is a semi-fix already, through their info on contacting someone, but not sure in your case who. Glenn Saunders and I had major similar issues with my AT&T email blocking his provider's email server, due to excessive spam being received from it - not that their server did but it passed along a lot of spam emails, so AT&T blocked it. I believe you have run into the same situation. Glenn had to contact his provider to work with AT&T for changes to limit spam and thus eliminate the block. Sounds like the same thing may be done here but finding out how can be hard.
