HELP WANTED: Replies to this thread as a test for Verizon accounts (1 Viewer)

Keith,

We don't get bounced messages back from Verizon.

In a way, that makes some sense: it's generally no good to reply to (what is perceived as) SPAM.

I'm in for a bump for Keith.


^Bump!^

 

[Keith I]

Thanks for the info, Cees. Well, then that does it then. Verizon has the problem and they can't find their own problem. That one little glitch won't stop me from using their service (which is excellent for everything else). Oh well. I will just have to log in here myself. Thanks again everyone.

 

[Keith I]

^bump^

Could anyone keep posting anyway? Thanks!

 

[Cees Alons]

Another post, Keith!

[Mike Frezon]

But what's in it for me?!

 

[Keith I]

The satisfaction of helping fellow HTFers with Verizon accounts.

Anyway, nothing is happening and I'm wondering if Verizon is actually checking on it or has abandoned it. Verizon does still have my case file, though, because when I keep contacting them, they are aware of the situation without me having to redescribe the situation.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Well then, sign me up for the duration!

 

[Keith I]

Okay, you are signed!

Anyway, here's another bump.

 

[Cees Alons]

It MUST be their fault/problem/responsibility!

Calling Keith!

Can Verizon handle rotary phones any more?

 

[Keith I]

Ha ha! Sorry, still no e-mail notification.

Verizon still handles rotary phones. I know a few people who still use it and Verizon is the only phone provider in our state. (One main cable company here - that uses RoadRunner for Internet - is going to get into the phone business soon.)

 

[Mike Frezon]

Maybe Verizon wants you to use a REALLY big phone???

 

[Keith I]

If that works to get this problem solved, YEAH I'D USE THAT PHONE!

BTW, still no e-mail notification...

 

[Mike Frezon]

On Thanksgiving weekend, Verizon may get you your message if you use this phone:

 

[Keith I]

Ha ha!

Yeah, with new competition on the horizon, Verizon's E-mail and Web service (maybe even phone service) may end up looking like that!

BTW, still no e-mail notification.

Happy Thanksgiving! (One day late.)

 

[Cees Alons]

They're probably not doing anything about it, so that would have to be no surprise.

I just finished a chat with Tech Support and they said that they cannot find anything on their end that would be cause for automated e-mails from HTF and another site to not reach our Inboxes.

They asked again if HTF and the other site gets returned e-mail as undeliverable and I told them they don't, based on what was mentioned here. The other site also says they don't.

Could there be anything on the originating servers that could contribute to the problem? Anything beyond the control of HTF? Their host server administration? Or do the HTF Admins have total control over their server?

 

[Cees Alons]

Keith,

What could possibly cause the server to send e-mails to anyone as usual, but not to Verizon, while mail from other sites don't reach Verizon as well?

It simply is highly improbable that the cause lies at our or the other servers' side.

Unless they have a generally unusual condition that keeps all those mail messages from arriving there, but then they would know that best themselves, or find it out.
