Hey guys, I have a question. I don't post much, mostly just lurk and read, but I have a question about blocking emails. If you have been blocked by someone (I have no idea how to do this) do you not get a return saying you have been blocked or that your email is undeliverable?

Just curious at this point. Thanks for any replies.
 
Probably not. You might just get filtered out or passed to spam. In some processors you might get notified if they have auto-reply.
 
I use a mail blocking program to keep spammers and people
I don't want to correspond with out.
Their email will be bounced back to them with a message stating their email was undeliverable as
the (my) address is not valid.

Depends on how the receiving person sets it up.
As mentioned above, the auto reply will answer every E-mail it receives.
That can become an issue if it is spam and has an invalid source address.
(goes into a loop . . sends reply, which generates an invalid address
reply, which generates another reply, etc.)

If the processing of the incoming E-mail is done on your system, the
E-mail processor considers it a completed send/receive and does
nothing further.

Junk filters hold the incoming mail for two to four weeks so you can
review the "junk", in case you have your filter set too tight, and need
to adjust it.

Like virtually everything else in software, the real answer is . . . . . .
. . . it depends. :D
 
Thanks for the replies - I kinda thought it wasn't necessarily open to a reply or an undeliverable message. This is an old girlfriend from 35 years ago I was talking with for a few months, just trying to see where her head was. She is still single, I've been married for 34 years. Apparently I PO'd her big time when I suggested that maybe she was the reason she can't maintain relationships.

I tried to reassure her that I was actually trying to help, but I think she blocked everything........No great loss.

Thanks again, I am the original computer dummy all the books were written for!

Turd, you suggesting to this female that it's HER fault she's still single? I'm very surprised you upset her!!! Your next move is to ask your wife where you went wrong. I know answer to that one too!!
