assistant: Only going by what I've already seen from mailcity.com.  Mail originating
from my accounts on JUNO, mailcity, and hotmail were sent out on the same
day.  Those from mailcity and hotmail were sent out within minutes of each
other.  All sent to the same address, at vds.com.au.  Of the three,
mailcity was the ONLY one which made it to its location.  I sent mail to
the support of the other two 'telling the world' as far as those two
servers what had happened, even including the entire daemon-bounced email,
so they could see for themselves.  Each of the daemon-bounced mail
'refused' the JUNO address, with an 'unacceptable address'.
 (The friend even sent me email TO the JUNO.com
address, letting me know that his server had blocked JUNO.COM addresses
from being received because of SPAMMERS.)  Apparently his server has also
blocked hotmail.com, as well because the same 'refusal due to unacceptable
address' was included in the daemon-bounced mail. Since then, we've been
able to stay in contact via mailcity.com.
Note:  The only feedback I got from someone at any of the servers above
concerning their position on SPAMMERS was from mailcity.com. (In fact, a
rather nice email) and since then there have been a couple of questions
I've sent in for feedback and *Always* gotten a personal message back,
rather than an automated response from JUNO, which didn't help in the
least.
And funny, their server was the only one of the three above that hadn't
been blocked. Granted, I did get 'email' from JUNO... but it was an
automated response to check out some faq's, which didn't solve my
problem with sending out email that wouldn't get returned undeliverable.
You're lucky then... cause apparently I'm not the only one who has had a
problem sending mail from JUNO.COM.
