wonderent Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I've decided just to see if any of you have any ideas on this.A friend of my mother tries to send her Jacqui Lawson electronic greeting cards, but my mother never receives them.The friend sends them to me occasionally also, but I receive them just fine.I have checked my mother's computer for blocked messages and they are not being blocked. [she uses Outlook Express].I have always had her Norton anti spam feature completely off and have double checked that it still is. She has a firewall, but so do I, so I don't think that would be stopping a greeting card email.Sure would appreciate any suggestions.nancy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
novi Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Who is your mothers ISP? I would check to see if you can pull the mail from their servers. I have comcast cable and I can retrieve mail without opening OE. I could do the same thing when I had dial-up (earthlink) This way you can check to see if the mail is making it to the servers or not, or being stopped by OE.Hope that helped a little.Pat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTerrorist_75 Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Some ISPs employ spamfilters on their email servers and treat many ecards as spam due to many ecard companies that are spam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wonderent Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thanks, Terrorist. Good point.Talked to her ISP, and they assurred me that they didn't block messages. I was able to go her server, though, and found that for some reason themessages never got there. At least I know for sure it's not hercomputer because I was really stumped. Thanks to you both!
