Not all emails are delivered

R

I hope someone can help me, I changed from Mail to Entourage because
Mail can't receive all emails, now I can send all emails but not all of
them are received! sometimes I send them twice and it works, other
times it still doesn't, and it seems pretty dumb to call people to find
out if they received your email. The worst of it is that I do not get a
"non-delivery" reply. I just don't know who receives my emails and who
does not.
Thank you

That's usually an SMTP problem. Are the e-mails listed as sent in your
outbox ?? You should check with your ISP that everything is fine with
their server (though I suspect they'll always tell you "of course" even
if the server just bursts into flames right in front of their eyes :->
).

Some mail servers blacklist a selection of SMTP server thay assume are
related to spam. The new trend seems to be that they don;t even bother
sending you a warning that your server is blacklisted anymore :-\ I've
seen it a couple of times myself.
