I have a regular email address that I use everyday for regular emails from subscriptions and from casual friends. I have another that I don’t use that much and was planning on closing it. I get a lot of Nigerian 419 and lottery scam emails on a weekly basis and I report them to abuse@yahoo.com soon afterwards.

On a lark, I decided to check to see if the Yahoo accounts that the scammers were using had been shutdown, so I put all the email addresses into my other account (the one I don’t use) and sent a little note to all of the scammers who had contacted me.

To my surprise, most of the email addresses were still active, including the Yahoo accounts. I know this because the emails didn’t bounce-back to me. Yahoo seems to have the largest number of active scammer addresses and I had reported all of them. I reported them a second time and, still, most of them are still active! If Yahoo is serious about stopping scammers from using Yahoo Mail, why don’t they shut them down?
I’ve reported every single scam email sent to me. Blocking them from my Inbox doesn’t shutdown the address being used to run the scam.

if someone sends me an email that doesn’t make any sense
is it a way to send me a bug just to hack into my computer

The emails I get never have a link or anything other than maybe a poem or such

I replied to one with my own bounce email to only receive it back as a Non address(Bounce)
I do know about message source in the in comming mail and got the addy from that

So whats with that,
I don’t see any changes in my computer to show that it is infected in any way

I’ve had a problem with Gmail for a long time now and was wondering if anyone out there had any idea as to what’s going on. You can’t seem to get a good answer from Gmail help so I’m not even going to bother wasting my time contacting them.

I am a member of several Yahoo groups that have had bounced messages like crazy. A lot of people blame it on Yahoo but I don’t. The reason I don’t is because I use callwave on my computer and from time to time they send me things through email. I had a message just pop up from callwave saying that they tried to contact me but the message was returned as undeliverable because my box was full. My Gmail account is only 8% full. There is no way it is full, so my question is why does Gmail like to just bounce back messages? I’ve already switched all my mail back to Yahoo but wanted to know what some of you all thought.

Getting major bounce back from many different email servers. I am not on any spam list either. In all the research I have done, the common idea is that it is an internal configuration problem. I have told this to my ISP, they still cant find a problem.

Does anyone have any experiance in fixing this. I have paying clients that must get my emails and newsletters and they are not getting them now due to this 554 error.

Open to any advise that is truly useful.

Havn’t received emails for at least 24 hrs… my yahoo groups that send daily emails indicate that mail sent to my yahoo account are “hard bounce” I have tried sending from other accounts but they niether bounce back to those accounts, nor appear in my Yahoo account. Any one else with this problem?
