Bouncing emails

For the last few days I have been getting my emails sent with gmail bounced back. Love it magazine is one of the intended recipients.
Could my email address have become blacklisted? Or any suggestions how to get round this? I only use gmail for comping usually and hotmail for my personal emails.

    I got a bounceback literally 5 minutes ago from LoveIt on Hotmail (Outlook).

    I stopped entering email entry competitions as much as I was having the same problem with my gmail account. My only others are yahoo or hotmail. Perhaps someone can suggest a different free email account that doesn't bounce?

    I wonder if the Love It ones are bouncing and sending good luck messages because they are forwarded from that email address to two addresses: the one that gives the auto 'good luck' response, and another....? And that second address isn't working at their end...

    Only musing.... :)

    I use gmx for my 'proper' e mail accounts - it's a good service but it does rather tend to tick you off for 'not logging out' - I sometimes feel a 'pass me the axe' moment when I see that for the twentieth time in a day!
