    Hi,
    I use the excellent Gmail.
    The only problem I come across is that there are many times when I cannot send emails to my contacts who have hotmail or yahoo email addresses.

    There is never a problem sending to my contacts with other email addresses.

    I never have a problem receiving emails from hotmail or yahoo email users.

    Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution?

    Bye.

    My primary e-mail account is on GMail and I've never had this problem before.
    Really strange.

    The only problem with GMail (according to me) is when using a dial-up conection. I may be forced to use the "Basic HTML View".

    ;)

    This is a problem with yahoo ...or hotmail. Not gmail.

    I get an error messages when I send just ordinary emails & attachments emails to yahoo & hotmail. I have not contacted yahoo or hotmail yet.
    No email I sent were cc.

    This is so perplexing.

    This is the case with Yahoo.
    What happens when trying to send to Hotmail, I mean could you post the delivery status message like you did with Yahoo?

    After reading what Yahoo are saying about it:

    I think you should contact them on the following URL: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/postmaster/defer.html

    It's something with your attachments. But you're saying you're not sending attachments?

    Hi

    Are you sending these emails via a university network, if you are Uni networks are rife with email spams being forwared on due to many being infected with malware, so the IP address of said Uni is on a blocked list at a email host.

    Possible also is that if a Uni or corporate network is that they may have content filtering in place in that the header title to the email maybe deemed as spam and blocked, so do other users have the same issue as you, in using Gmail to Yahoo Hotmail? ( I do not have issues sending from Gmail to Hotmail or Yahoo so its something with your network or PC )

    To check your networks issues in sending emails then you will have to talk to the Network Admin dept.

    Are you malware free?



    If a home internet connection then again are you malware free?

    But you may need to visit the postmaster links to send in a report that your not sending spam as it seems your IP is blocked.

    Hi,
    I have tried sending to yahoo email from gmail both at home and at college - no luck on both counts. Yes, I am almost certain I am malware free. This is so frustrating. Bye.
