Suddenly (Nov 2010) Earthlink will not process ANY email from me or my wife, who also has this alias and an Earthlink account. Since we don't have any way to contact the dolts at Earthlink, we cannot begin to solve this problem. Trying to get "help" on the nonfunctional Earthlink websites is an invitation to mindboggling frustration - most links are broken, the chat is with braindead people who cannot even understand the problem, phone is hopeless, etc etc etc. I'm going to have to finally get rid of this total dog (Earthlink) but I would like to have functional email during the changeover. I guess this is hopeless. I would advise anyone to AVOID EARTHLINK LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! Nov 2010 I have Earthlink as an ISP, the email adr @mcn.net is (has always been) my adr used by earthlink.

Ironically I also am an earthlink customer and cannot send email to myself at earthlink! I and eumx have been trying to have earthlink unblock this. We have called and emailed but getting either no response or the run-around. I have a better idea for them to fight spam: block all email!

If I could safely change my ancient e-mail address without fear of losing long-time contacts and client's I'd do it. Most recent issue: not so much blocking (that I know of! Good God, that, TOO?), but the most inconsistent "phishing" alerts/blocks ever. Three consecutive e-mails (without forwards or attachments) from the same person, and two of them get red-lined and blocked, but one passes ... and of course none of them are infected. Between that and the arcane billing system ... feh. Been with earthlink since the early Sky Dayton days when it was founded here in Pasadena, but I’m over it.

She has a yahoo account and all mail keeps getting dumped into "known spam folder" She has no other problems from other with other receivers. Low end techs at Earthlink were worthless in trying to figure out this problem. Two sessions and five different techs. Senior techs now state its a IP address sending pharma spam, travel site spam, dating spam. She ran a scan for Malware and no problems. Same problem with receiving my daughters email from Costa Rica.

The problem isn't just about my emails but emails sent to possible clients who use email and what emails sent to me that they're blocking. How I resolved the problem was to communicate with my web hosting service, Sustainable Websites; on two occasions they've had to intervene. So far, so good.

Sometimes the reason you are blocked is not even about your domain but about a block of server IP addresses at your web host that are known spammers. Going to Spamhaus.com to see if your server block is on the list is a good place to start. There may be other issues at play. That is a thorny problem.

We are having a terrible problem in Europe where Earthlink is blocking 10% of the IP addresses of people we are working with and even though we notified Earthlink correctly there has been no change if your IP wasn’t blocked, how did you resolve the problem with Earthlink so your E-mails were not returned?
