Metrocast email problems - FYI

SteveA · 07-24-2013, 05:33 AM

If you have your email with Metrocast, (all of Metrocast, not just the Lakes Region), your emails to most Domains, (Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail,Gmail.. etc) are being blocked and rejected.

I noticed the problem when some folks told me they didn't receieve emails I had sent to them. I'm not a "techie" , but I've been told by Metrocast, that the problem is that someone with a metrocast domain has been producing tons of SPAM. According to Metrocast, they have blacklisted and are rejecting any and all metrocast email traffic.

When I spoke with metrocast, they confirmed that the blocking was happening and suggested I create a new email account with Yahoo, AOL, Outlook, Gmail or Hotmail.

They also told me that they have no way of fixing the problem because those other companies (domains) have simply shut off metrocast.
