Error sending mail to @msn or @hotmail...

[notix]

I have tried to send an email to my other email address that I recently registered, n0tx at msn dot com . Now, I have tried to send an email with Outlook Express to that email address and I get this:

This is the Postfix program at host mail3.powweb.com.

The Postfix program...

Now, I go to login to my msn account email, at hotmail.com. I then send an email to my powweb address, and it sends fine. A second later It appears in my indbox in outlook express.. I try to click reply, and It comes back to me with the same error.


Any ideas?

Thanks...

I've sent you an e-mail message - let's see what happens... The symptoms suggest that the problem is on Hotmail/MSN's side. Are you SURE you've spelled the username correctly? ;)

[stevel]

It's not PowWeb - I got a bounce from MSN through Comcast saying "no such user. The username you gave here was en-zero-tee-ex. Is that correct?

[notix]

What is your email? I'll send you an email, and then you'll reply and you'll get another error... PM me if you don't want public to see....

I don't know why this happens, any ideas? Anyone? I'm going to e-mail powweb support if no one else has ideas.. I just thought someone else might have some of the same problems..

SAME THING!, I realized this when I finaly got my form to work, and I tried the same thing that you did with several friends , cmon what is this ... its not my fault ... so it must be POWWEB! BOOOOO, lol just kidding but if somebody does know let me and ntix know asap I would hate to have to call powweb if I dont need to :)

[stevel]

It has nothing at all to do with PowWeb. I have now tried to send mail to "notix" via two different e-mail sending services, neither of which was PowWeb. Both got bounces, and one of them was a reply to a message I received. It's MSN that is bouncing the mail, so I suggest you contact MSN about it.

Here are the bounce messages I got:

Hrm. .. Ok, your right.. I tried sending from a non-powweb account and I recieved the same error... Then I tried sending from the @msn.com to the @msn.com account (basically sending it to myself) and that worked. Its wierd how I can send one to my powweb, but not reply. .. any ideas? Anyone?

[stevel]

I'll say it again - contact MSN. The problem is on their end - it's their server that is rejecting the incoming mail. Note that if you send mail to yourself within MSN, that goes through a different path and probably doesn't encounter the problem.

send here :
natyszyn@msn.com

then here :
alec@idealplayer.com

wow ur sure comfortable with giving ur email address out to public lol

[stevel]

I think notix is having an issue on MSN with his specific address, and only MSN can resolve it. I'm sure it isn't that ALL MSN addresses don't work...

[notix]

Has anyone ever succcessfully sent an email to @msn.com or @hotmail.com ? Just curious....

[stevel]

I've sent many such mails successfully.
