Ok, so I did not know exactly where to put this but since E-Mail is a form of communication, but not pertaining to the topics there, I'm just tossing it in General Chat. I thought ya'll might like to know...
I was sending an E-Mail to a very good friend this evening and because he and I discussed what I saw in a video, he asked me to send him the link.
Seemed simple enough.
The E-Mail was titled "The Video". Nothing out of the ordinary as I use this title quite often.
The body of the E-Mail simply said, "Here's the video" and I made that the link to the video.
Again, I thought absolutely nothing of this. The video is legal to watch so I didn't foresee a problem at all.
The E-Mail was returned undeliverable back to my own E-Mail with the reason(s) as being "Remote host said: 554 Message not allowed - Email not accepted for policy reasons."
So anyway. I got around it by using a series of codes which I will not get into, but just thought those of you using a free web-based email should know you do not have the freedom to receive just anything you may want.
My best advice would be to purchase a Domain Name for little of nothing and most often, they come with 1 free email account. I'd recommend making the domain name registration private but that is really a personal choice.
Additionally, I will not disclose the video I was sending the link to either but still thought this should be known.
After thinking about this, I just remembered this particular friend does have an account with MSN so I probably could have tried that but did not.
