Delay and Failure email messages

24. May 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
Emails recently have been bouncing back to me with this error first:
DELAY This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE.

Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed.

(removed email address)
Then FAILURE Unable to deliver message to the following recipients, due to being unable to connect successfully to the destination mail server.

(removed email address) 
It seems to happen only with the Tribune address, but Tribune IT confirms that it is not their problem but a MSN Hotmail problem not communicating with the Tribune servers. Other address other then Tribune seem to be fine.
Is there a solution? Any suggestions appreciated. Can supply the source code upon request if that is needed. Thanks in advance, Mark

Unable to send email messages with a NEW Hotmail account

18. May 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail · Tags: , , , , , ,

I receive this alert telling me that they suspect the security of my account has been compromised, and are asking for my cell phone number to verify that I am the owner of the account (so they can send me a text, etc.). But I just created this Hotmail account, and I don't want to give Microsoft my phone number. I just want to send this email. Why must I jump through so many hoops just to accomplish this task?

 

A few other (related) concerns:

 

-Does anyone know if Hotmail Plus users typically experience these same issues?

 

-Also, could the fact that I am presently having my Hotmail service POP for messages on my Gmail account have anything to do with this?

 

Thanks for any help!!
