gmail and hotmail by Stigmata on 08-20-2004 at 04:36 PM

just wondering about u guys.... whenever i try and send a email to hotmail. i get a email back saying :

quote:

postmaster@mail.hotmail.com     to me

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.

********@hotmail.com


is that happening to anyone else?

No they wouldn't do that, legal and company relation issues are heavily involved here. If they were it was a problem with their junk mail filter, that would actually deliver all gMail e-mails to your Junk Mail folder...this is obviously at the server based level. Hotmail would have to not even accept the e-mail onto the server and block it...

And I just tried it and it seemed to work anyway...:s

Can do that if you type the wrong address too.

Well the person you are replying to can add a diffrent reply email address, like they send you an email 1@1.com and they can specify so when you press the reply button it sends it back to 2@2.com

no they didn't, some people just got their invites in their trashbox instead of their inbox and therefor oversaw it sometimes.

GMail is currently in beta testing. People who currently have GMail randomly get invitations, which they can send to other people. With an invitation, you can register for a GMail account.

Basically, wait until someone sends you an invitation :)
