Hello Everyone,

It appears that blackplanet.com has "blacklisted" us, refusing to deliver email from the forum to any of their email accounts (you@blackplanet.com). I've included that part of a returned mail notice below:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at destee.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<MemberNameRemoved@blackplanet.com>: Connected to 205.158.62.38 but sender was rejected. Remote host said: 553 5.3.0 EMail from mailserver at 64.23.81.177 is refused. The email senders host is Blacklisted by postmaster@outblaze.com.


Obviously, outblaze.com handles BlackPlanet's email functionality.

I don't know the reason we've been "blacklisted." I am simply letting you all know that we have been. If you'd like to receive the messages sent to you from the forum, you will need to get an alternative email account. ******************* offers free email and it can be accessed here, Free Talking Drum Email (http://thetalkingdrum.mail.everyone.net/email/scripts/joinuser.pl?EV1=10558551715416032).

I'd hate for you to miss out on that special "love note" someone was trying to get to you ... not to mention I'm receiving all of these returned email notices (plus the email's original content).

If you get a new email account, go to your profile and edit the email field, replacing blackplanet with the new address.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, you may post them here.

Thanks,

Destee

i find that mail being sent from yahoo and msn are also sent back as well.

it doesn't happen all the time, but just the idea that it does happen is not correct, especially since I have your site linked on my page on BP.

if you would like to see my page, go to BP
my online is sweetcaramel-42.
i change my page weekly to keep the knowledge flowing.

i really enjoy this new home and i am sending others from BP to this site to share good words, written and/or spoken.

thanks for this site and i hope to be here for a long time.

be peace sister.

Haaaaaay Ryss :wave:

I'm not sure what causes that, but thanks for letting me know
that it's not BP alone. I'm not even sure if it is still happening
with BP, as I originally posted this a few weeks ago I think.

Thanks for inviting others to our home!!! :jumping: :)

As you can already see, it really is a place where we can be us,
relax and keep it real (as you said in one of your other posts).

Make yourself right on at home, take your shoes off, help
yourself to the koolaid in the fridge ... just don't put the empty
pitcher back in there :wink:

Much Love and Peace,

Destee

don't know N2 but it's happenning!!!

I was recently searching for any assistance for email issues [centered around BlackPlanet] when I came across this site. From what I've read so far, it looks like I may just have to find another email client to use. I can't believe that BlackPlanet would "stoop to such lows!!" But, then again, I have yet to find out why my email account was deactivated!!

DanielBankHead ... Welcome :wave:

You can get a free email account from our Brother Site, The Talking Drum (http://thetalkingdrum.mail.everyone.net/email/scripts/joinuser.pl?EV1=10558551715416032). If you experience any problems, you may post them here.

:heart:

That was a quick response!! By the way, I recently left you a message concerning logging in and out of your site. How is it done? Where can I find the links?

I just responded to your message about 2 minutes ago [although I don't see it here]. I guess I have to "get the hang of this!!" That's okay!! Anyway, the only link I was was one that's used to email this page to someone else.

Oh...okay (be patient, Danny Boy...your messages show up)!! LOL!!

Anyway, I'll check back later for your response. Once again, thank you for your assistance!! Be blessed, Dee!!

A possible reason why you might still be having problems with mail delivery:

Medouze ... Welcome and Thank you for the information / link. I've never been there before and i had one "fail," as well as a few "warnings." I'll be working to resolve these things.

This thread is more than 2 years old and the experiences aren't the same now as they were then.

Thanks again and please make yourself at home.

Hello family

Thanx XXpanthaxx(hope i spelled it correctly)

family Black planet is not ours it is euro and it is very much in fear of real AFROCENTRIC THOUGHT. Years ago one could express themselves without fear of being shutdown but since they have turned hands the ownership is anti-afrakan.

Also, i have discovered only a handful of black owned sites and ITS A BLACK THANG is where i advertise. i many not agree with many people about issues that i feel are close to my heart like FREEDOM but i am teachable and hold no grudges. Perhaps someone can list a few black owned sites where people can explore and possibly grow a bit.

As for yahoo and MSN if you do not go to your e-mail acct for more than 30 days of if it gets full people will not be able to reach you.
We use yahoo chat so that i can check my mail and when it is over 200 it automatically shuts down until i can empty it out.

I want to also know if in Amerikka there is a black owned web provider?

Speak

luv

Thanx again and yes i am aware of nubonyx

Luv
