Why
is it always that some email
address can't be sent off & on?
ISPs
are filtering
incoming emails based on "Subject, TO, FROM, as well as message body, therefore,
using inappropriate wordings (ie: free, $$$, 1-800 etc.) in your
mails can result in them being deleted off & on
It is
also possible that your customers mail client (ie: Eudora,
Netscape Communicator, Outlook etc.) and/or their corporate mail server are
using
filter device that delete mails off & on with inappropriate wordings
(ie: free, $$$, etc.) in your mail: Subject, TO, FROM, as well as message body
and
will also result in
your mails getting deleted.
See
Email Filtering
Keep in mind that AOL doesn't show the
FROM: name that you provide, it only shows
readers the FROM address, so make sure you
are not sending with a typical spam like looking email address like this
example: jonessnews_1234@myemaildomain.com
that is as good as telling the recipient or the spam filters "you can delete
this mail".
From: name?
It is the name that you have enter into your email client ie: Outlook Express,
Name: field--(start-up outlook,
>Tools, >Accounts,
>Properties and at the "User Information"
Name: field--that's the
From: name that won't show-up for AOL
recipients and the FROM address? E-Mail
address: field -- That's what will show-up for AOL recipients.
If your
off & on
refers to undeliverable mails
Bounced
or undeliverable mails
from your own or ISPs mail server are quite normal due to various reason like;
Busy mailbox, blocked domain, mailbox full, account temporary suspended, mailbox
over limit, etc.--these are know as soft bounce.
Therefore,
bounced or undeliverable mails off & on do
not necessarily mean that your mail address are invalid.
Soft bounced refers
to; mailbox full, mail server down, network busy, (550
Requested action not taken)
etc.
Hard bounced refers to non-existing users (550
address not allowed or
Requested action not taken)
or that mail servers or email clients have filtering device that
stimulate and return mails as hard bounced. See:
SMTP return codes error
Free filtering programs
like: www.mailwasher.net let users auto delete and
returned undeliverable emails stimulated as hard bounced. These powerful freeware programs
allows *wildcard filtering for the: Subject line, TO, FROM, email domain and
message body.
