Blocked emails

#1

Post by spowzer »

What are the email domains that are blocking church communications?
I am aware of the following:
verizon.net
Yahoo.com

Any others? Messages on the leader site say little and give no direction. IMO would be easiest to notify members with those emails and tell them to change to different providers. From what I've seen here, fixing the problem (messaging security, message coding, mgt of dead accounts) will be a massive undertaking. So easier to work around it.

There are lengthy discussions in other threads about the problem. No perfect solution has yet emerged.

This thread says that it appears to be working now. I haven't tested it myself yet.

I hope its true! - my yahoo account was blocked around a year.
Next hurdle is security but I just sent myself a test email from leader tools and then ran the headers through Azure checker, it passed all of the checks. https://mha.azurewebsites.net/

You can get around the email block... take the report that has the emails from LCR and copy into Excel. Then in a column beside the array you can input the formula... =concatenate(cell above,"; ",cell with email). Drag this formula to the bottom of the array within the column in Excel. Copy the last cell in the column to any email address line and it should populate all email addresses up to the maximum (usually >750 emails). Seeing that it is coming from your email account instead of the church it will not be blocked.
