Is it a bag like this?
*****
On a side note, Sbcglobal Tech Support Sucks! I had gone through and checked my settings and filters and all that (except for ONE-which you will soon hear about) before I emailed and then subsequently phoned them about. So, I spent 30 minutes in a useless online forum trying to figure out WHY I Was not getting some of my email (and why some people were not getting MY Email). They recommended calling and speaking to a "live person" (um, ok, was the tech support person I spoke to dead? Or worse, LIVING DEAD?). Any ways, I did. I was directed to someone on a Magic Carpet in a Land Far Far Away. I spent almost an hour on the phone with him. He kept telling me (towards the end of the conversation) that if I had problems in the future I could look for a little white van at the bottom of my page (White Van? I asked him several times...like people with straight jackets in white vans? What?) Needless to say, that was a total waste of time (duh).
Hubby finally sat down and looked at my email settings. They were fine-but what was this list of blocked email addresses? Kara's email. My sister's email? WTF? I never blocked ANYONE'S Email. What I couldn't figure out was that I know for a fact, that my friends Alix and Elyce's emails were not getting through either 100% of the time and they were not blocked? It was the spam filter! It was a problem on THEIR end as no one here changed the settings to block email addresses like that. As usual tech support suggests the problem is on MY end and will do nothing to fix it. Their first response was "There's nothing wrong with your email." They never mentioned the spam filter. They never ever said "Check your blocked email list 'cause we blocked your friends and family from ever contacting you again-insert evil laugh here..."
Any ways, hopefully it is now fixed. Moral of the story: Don't call tech support. DIY.
