What is $Microsoft doing now ??

[Jim]

I forwarded two emails using Thunderbird to the email addresses below, along with a number
of other people, that went through.
I went to postmaster.msn.com and could not find, Reason 550 Command.
All that was in the email was a Link to    
  *http://patriotfiles.org/civilizationcalls.htm**
*
 What is Msn pulling ?? is it they don't accept emails from Thunderbird ??

These email addresses are good email addresses.


----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<larry(a)hotmail.com&gt;
    (reason: 550 Command rejected for policy reasons. For troubleshooting information, go
to http://postmaster.msn.com)
<lyn(a)msn.com&gt;
    (reason: 550 Command rejected for policy reasons. For troubleshooting information, go

The email addresses are good email addresses.

Do you really mean that all the emails contained was that one link?  If so, 
I'd guess that spam filtering took them out.

It's kind of unusual to get an error message back when spam filtering
takes exception to a message.

I wonder if the original poster had a look at the page the rejection
notice mentions:  <http://postmaster.msn.com>

Chances are it's something other than just a link in a message that's a
trigger (the poster's ISP, the poster's IP - if they use their own SMTP
server, etc.).

I suppose there's also the possibility that they may have posted to
someone before, and the recipient's hit the "this is junk mail" button
thinking that it'll just hide something they weren't interested in, not
knowing that it also files a junk mail report.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
