Hi,

I am get a lot of returned mail from users (E-Mail Removed)
The one today I had attached a .JPG!
I also notice I cannot send links in email to fsnet users.

Any way round it?

Yahoo error:
Technical details of permanent failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 12): 554 Message not allowed - UP Email
not accepted for policy reasons.

It may be that some spammer forged email with your address as the
apparent source.

The last spam I recall which didn't forge something in the headers was
on Usenet, something about Green Cards.

Normal typed emails are ok, attaching a .jpg did not carry as risk I
though!

In the past, I recall Freeserve blocking (outgoing) mail if it had some
attachment (probably only blocking .exe, but one solution was to ZIP it
before attempting to send). Perhaps this blocking of incoming JPGs is
to deal with the spammers who put info as a JPG to allow them to bypass
many spam blocking apps... Perhaps Yahoo has 'whitelisted' some senders
such as ebay.com/ svp.co.uk/ evesham.com/ etc...
