lurid1 0 #1 October 13, 2015 Looking to buy a used main but every attempt to contact a seller through their classifieds add I receive a failure message from my email account provider. Can anyone spread some light for me? Thanks for any help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meso 38 #2 October 13, 2015 Hey, Are you by any chance trying to use a Yahoo mail address in the contact form? Unfortunately Yahoo has restrictions in place that prevent us from using their service to send the mails the way we do in the classifieds, more information here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4640212 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lurid1 0 #3 October 13, 2015 Why yes indeed Meso, you have hit the nail on the head! So by the looks of attached thread there is no possible solution at this stage for my problem then?....accept the obvious one of changing my email address of which I have been using for the past 15 years Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meso 38 #4 October 14, 2015 Unfortunately not, while we are looking at a new method of contacting users that would not end up getting blocked by Yahoo, that's still a while away - so in the mean time there is no other way. We are aware of ways to solve this, but considering we're intending to make a vastly different change, it would be a lot of work to do, just to then get changed again shortly after. What may be easiest is just creating a new email address with Gmail, that you use solely for the classifieds form. The form e-mail address is independent from your actual account e-mail address, so you can still use your Yahoo account as the main e-mail account on your profile, while just entering a second account into the contact form. That's the easiest solution I can suggest :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
