My outgoing email is blocked - HELP!!!

ts_aly2000

Certainly since Orange took over Freeserve, Wannadoo, or whatever they're calling themselves today; little niggles like this have been on the increase.

I now have to use the web interface to access my email as you can't access it via POP3 through BT.. Great! The Wanadoo account we have here is a dialup backup account and was my main account.

This spam thing has happened here before. It's because Freeserve have managed to get themselves onto the spam lists. I for example can't send mails to quite alot of companies and ISPs.

So from my perspective, Freeserve is pretty much useless. Oh and they started blocking usenet access a few months ago, much to the disappointment of my Dad on his old IBM AT 286 who uses it for Lynx, Gopher, and Usenet.

Not a good well rounded ISP. They believe that all the Internet is, is webpages and Flash applets.

People have successfully left their 12-month contracts due to these issues, in that they're not providing a 'complete' service. When you're paying £50 a month for unlimited business broadband you don't expect to be restricted by Nanny.

I'm assuming that you haven't got an alternative e-mail account that you can use but it's not a good idea to rely on just one account. Perhaps a new gmail account would help.

LOL, I have just opened a hotmail account especially for work and sent the stuff. I wanted to avoid this as that office are snowed under and "new" email contacts tend to be ignored. I followed it with a (long distance) phonecall - had to speak to three peeps :rolleyes:- to tell them this one was from me.

So you can see why my first port of call was MSE Techie...;)

Thanks peeps! :beer:

I would say that Hotmail (freebie throw away) is an e-mail account to avoid, especially for any kind of business use!
