I sent out a newsletter earlier today...thanks to whoever posted that one! Anyway, every single one that I sent to a hotmail account came back. My aunt called me earlier today to confirm my mom's hotmail address b/c she was trying to send some pics and they kept getting kicked back. I know there was a thread somewhere on here about gmail, but i'm so mad that i can't even look for it! That's like 25/30 people that didn't get my newsletter!!!

UGH!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
I find that when I send e-vites from my PWS they never get opened by people with AOL...I think AOL dumps them in the spam folder :(
 
I use msn.com and havent had any problems. Do you have a PC website? if so send from there
