Hi all - for the last 6 months or so, I have not been receiving all
the emails that people (including clients) send me. I'm using Outlook
2003. I thought it might be my ISP's fault, so I switched recently to
Earthlink. It's not any better; in fact, it's a bit worse. For the
past week or so, I now hardly ever receive any of the email one of my
colleagues sends to me (she telecommutes, has the same domaine name
email as I do, but uses a different ISP than I do), and she hardly
ever receives my replies. If I use the Webmail of my hosting company
to send emails, they arrive with no problem. I have checked my spam
filter, and that is not the problem.

It has been suggested to me that it could be that my ISP is
blacklisted by certain servers, and that my ISP or hosting company
also blacklists certain servers. Hard to believe, though, that
Earthlink would be blacklisted, as it's such a big, popular company.
Any ideas on what might be happenning? Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Earthlink is a big company, so they have lots of subscribers, of which a
proportion will be part of a botnet, so might be blacklisted. View the
headers of your sent emails to see what the IP address of your smtp server
is, then check it against
