Hi, Several people called me throughout today saying that email either to them or from them is bouncing. These are both Groupwise and Exchange users. Some mail seems to get delivered. Is this happening anywhere else in the world? Anyone hear what’s going on? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KKEXZTrvAU](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KKEXZTrvAU) ---

Well at least 3 of them do. The 4th isn’t one of my clients so I don’t know their (there? they’re?) ISP. ---

My level of perfection is more than some people can appreciate. ---

Bob Crandell, ISP Blocking ports? If this is Comcast…then they randomly do this without notification. ---

The bounce message says: The message that you sent was undeliverable to the following: [User@domain.org](mailto:User@domain.org) (550 Requested action was not taken because this server doesn’t handle mail for that user) which is a lie. I have since determined that the affected people have a common domain host that isn’t Comcast. Now I’m waiting to hear back from them. ---

I get reports like that sporadically. Thing is you never know where the issue is. Heck, half the time it turns out the sender that received the so-called ‘bounced message’ never sent it to the correct address to begin with.
