Hotmail Strikes Back?

I've had a certain email account since the start of Hotmail.com, and this is the first time this situation has ever happened. It doesn't matter what computer, phone, tablet I'm using, nor does it matter where or what country I'm signing in from (as I tried using a proxy server to test that out), EVERY single email I try to send, to ANY kind of email address, immediately bounces back to me with the message: 

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

*****With the person's email address below*******

Now I know EVERYBODY in the world has NOT blocked me, nor have I ever spammed anybody. I went the extra step to verify my account with a phone number and I've tried all the "tips" people have suggested on the Microsoft Help Forums, but NOTHING seems to work.

No problems receiving emails from that account. And no problems both receiving and sending using other email server accounts - like Yahoo, Google, etc.

I wonder if the "powers to be" have got so much extra time on their hands and nothing better to do than go through the databases and screw-up user's accounts which have been involved in the occasional purchasing of prescription meds from time to time? I'm thinking that's probably what might have happened either on my end, or on some other companies end which has been investigated by the "ever-so-growing" cyber police.

Other than "You should have used a different email sever, Hotmail sucks, etc" does anybody have suggestions on what could be done to restore my account back to normal?  Perhaps it's just something technical which involves changing the POP server, or deleting something, or a reset button /default_smile.png

Just to follow up, no my email address hasn't been circulating on Topix or other "hot spots" of trouble. As was the case with my Hushmail account which suddenly became dead, as I was no longer permitted to sign into it. Quite sure that was due to my one and only post on that cesspool of sites Topix, about 5 years back.

Thanks johnno for at least making the effort to help. Much appreciated.

Turns out, the trouble all started when I tried to have Gmail automatically forwarded (by default) into my Hotmail account. However I didn't do it correctly, thus causing Hotmail to have the problems.

Now, though, everything is OK and both accounts are linked successfully together. 
 

Sad thing is, for the past few days, I changed 99% of the websites (banks,, stores, etc) I belong to send and accept emails to and from my Gmail account and no longer Hotmail, as I honestly thought my Hotmail account was doomed. (Tell's ya about my positive 'Outlook' on life these days, no pun intended) 
 

Anyways, I'm happy to have the HOTMAIL account working again as I much prefer the layout, attaching things, and the simplicity of Hotmail over Gmail.

that gmail is good at causing problems i got told,skoogle is constantly trying to get me to sign up for it and give them my phone number,as if i would give my number to those nosey fuckers,glad you got it sorted now slammer,just a pain having to go to all those sites and change back your contact addy to shushmail.

all this digital stuff can be a pain at times,and they said computers would make life a whole lot easier...doh!
No doubt it was Google's attempt to screw-up my Hotmail and have me completely switch over to them due to giving up trying to fix the problem. As it all stemmed from an email I received from Google explaining how to link it to my other accounts. In hindsight, I wish I had deleted that junk-ass piece of mail. Spent dam near 36 hours straight trying every tip on the net with the hopes of fixing the problem. 

 
I have various emails but try to stick with Safemail. In fact I think I might delete all ny messages in my email accounts and close them all out and start over fresh.

Learnt to do this after having hush email closed down,along with a lot of other folk.
Very smart idea. Good for you and good for the vendor.

Kudos to you....

 
Shit, the last time I had a hotmail account, I think it was attached to Windows 98!

 
Win 98 was a decent OS back in the day, but manually having to reload drivers after a reinstall was a huge pain in the Arse!

Fortunately, I'm pretty tech savvy, and figured it out...Glad those days are over... /default_rolleyes.gif

Yeah, I don't think anything is safe from "spying eyes" these days on the internet.

It's a hackers paradise out there!!

I would think that the most widely used email service would be least monitored due to the sheer volume of emails. On the other hand, the email services such as Hushmail and Safemail, etc would be the MOST monitored as generally speak one does need to send encrypted mails to friends and family when discussing things such as their new pet or family vacation.

If I was FBI, DEA or LE in general, i would zero in on those encrypted/secretive sites mostly used by people with info to hide, not Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail.

No?

  7. Alkazar @ Alkazar: It is really annoying\
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: Technically they were forced back to work the last time they went on strike in 2024, so this is the same strike for the same reasons in 2025.
  9. Alkazar @ Alkazar: I dont know how to direct reply to people on here. But the Canada Post strike will affect any mail coming from the US. It will be held at a facility until the striek is over. Mail that is being sent from CAD to the US will just not be picked up. It all has to be private delivery services now.

  14. xenxra @ xenxra: @LW815 from my experience, CP strikes usually tend to leave the snails alone
  15. xenxra @ xenxra: I hardly knew her!

  17. LW815 @ LW815: @Alkazar would that effect snail mail arriving to the US from CA in any impactful way?
