Subhuman?

I felt a wave of nostalgy (it sometimes catches me, as atom can confirm, and I e-mailed Subhuman. The e-mail address in his profile diffes from the one from the past so I read this as an invitation. Unfortunately I got this answer from his ISP (server)

It means his email address is flagged, someone reported it to spamcop for spamming or some other abuse.

Actually, it means your email domain has been flagged as a spammy domain by spamcop or something else. His email host is a bit spam-paranoid so alot of stuff doesn't get thru (I know as I have an account on this host also =P.)

PM and I can put you in contact with him.

Apple's own mail box service refuses my info@ezsound.nl when I send a mail to a friend with that host.
however huub@ezsound.nl is accepted

Info=spam

My email address starts with 'ja' which means in Polish 'me' or "I" (depends on context). But the most curious thing was when I once sent an email to myself and I found it in my spambox...

one of those self-entitled anti-spam list suppliers recently flagged the complete .de domain as suspective...

somehow reminds me on that old Pink Floyd quote there is no dark side of the moon - matter of fact is it's all dark

cheers, tom

It doesn't matter. SPAMmers can send email so that it seems to come from anyone's address. DO NOT trust the sender's address!
