said by cramer:The reason you are unaware of it is because incoming messages are being dropped before they're even received. (see above re: "zombie/spam") If they don't put it anywhere in your mailbox(es), then you won't know it ever existed.
I don't send mail to earthlink/mindspring users very often, but the last one I sent (from gmail) was refused. Sent it again -- seconds later, and it was accepted just fine.
I posted my spam volume was the same as it was last week and I also have a 15+ email subscriptions of which none were dropped or lost. The subscriptions/list servs come all through the week because I signed up to stagger them so that I didn't get all of them to read on one day in the week and then have nothing for another week. I ever sent test emails using my Google email Account to all my EL email Accounts and the test emails were received by all 8 accounts within minutes. Don't know why you saw a Gmail failure, but I just retested with no issue as I did over the last 3 days.
