Emails to E-on next returned undelivered

Anyone else had the same problem?

Four times over the past 2 or 3 months I've emailed E-on next yet all emails were returned undelivered with the message:

The user or domain that you are sending to (or from) has a policy that
550-5.7.1 prohibited the mail that you sent. Please contact your domain
550-5.7.1 administrator for further details.

I used these two email addresses: <hi@eonnext.com> and <unhappy@eonnext.com> (currently available on the e-on next website).

I rarely have this 'returned undelivered' issue. Any ideas? Looks like I'll have to try their 'phone contact option - when I have half a day spare.

    Where are you sending the emails from?
    Do you have an alternative email service you could try - not a different address for EON, but eg. an Outlook account you could send from instead of a Gmail one?

    It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

    Are you sending from Apple mail or .me domain? Many organisations block these are sources of spam

    Are you attaching any large files to the email(s) ?
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    I send emails from my web-based GMX account. I have a PC-based (client) Thunderbird account which I've linked to my GMX account so I can "fetch" and "store" emails I've sent and received using GMX. I do this just in case GMX pull the plug on me and I lose access - not unknown with web-based email accounts, evidently.

    No reason I can't try sending an email through Thunderbird though - thanks for the suggestion.

    I too receive emails from hi@eonnext. I guess that shows it's a live email address.

    No attachments at all. Also no personal info, no bank details etc. were included in my email text. And the emails were just a couple of lines of text so shouldn't have been a large file.

    I think my approach now will be to: (1) Try using Thunderbird email. (2) Leave poor review on Trustpilot (I notice some companies "reach out" to customers who leave negative reviews). (3) 'Phone. (4) Switch energy supplier!
