astral Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I just sent some photos, including a few swim suit shots to friends. All the hotmail addresses returned the message with this error The error that the other server returned was: 550 550 SC-001 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons.

sensei Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Next time send password protected RAR files. See if they can still snoop into your personal stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Most likely restricting certain file type attachments rather then content. They would be pretty busy looking at all the photos coming in to determine "acceptability" Possibly bandwidth or storage restrictions. On the mail server I manage I don't allow .zip, .exe and a few other extensions in for virus reasons. Try renaming the file from .jpg (or what ever it is) to .txt and see how it fairs. //edit - usually the 550 is an SMTP error and means an attempt to use the server as a mail relay had occurred "Specifically, the SMTP 550 error code is defined by RFC821 and states "550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable (e.g., mailbox not found, no access, or command rejected for policy reasons)"..

Crushdepth Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Are these huge photos (file size)? That might be one reason for them to be rejected. You could try zipping the photos into an archive, I suspect zip is far to common a format for Hotmail to ignore. Or use Gmail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endure Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 "Remote host said: 550 SC-001 Mail rejected by Windows Live Hotmail for policy reasons. Reasons for rejection may be related to content with spam-like characteristics or IP/domain reputation problems. If you are not an email/network admin please contact your E-mail/Internet" That's usually the full message from Windows Live Hotmail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinLOS Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hotmail will also reject mail if they see it as a spam mailing list.. Maybe you hit thier filter for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pampal Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hotmail is horrible, stopped using it 8 years ago. Much better ones out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crushdepth Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) From next month all ISP's in the UK have to save ALL the emails and your web browsing details for 1 year, by law. Another good reason to use Gmail. Both the web and POP access are over encrypted connections, your (UK) ISP can't access it or save it. but I'd be suprised if hotmail wasn't the same in this day and age (haven't looked and don't want to).

Phil Conners Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hotmail is horrible, stopped using it 8 years ago. Much better ones out there I'm not usually pro-M$ but in the case of Hotmail I think you will find it has improved a lot since 8 years ago. Besides, they are the only free tier-1 webmail provider who support SMS notification to Thailand. Yahoo supports SMS notification but USA only. Gmail is only considering (Glabs) SMS notification.

webfact Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) GMAIL! And if you are willing to invest $20 a year you get in return a 17 GB mail account which is much safer (https) and reliable than this Microsoft crapmail... Gmail allows attachments up 20MB and if you have larger files to send, use a free service like yousendit. Free up to 1GB Edited February 17, 2009 by webfact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Most likely restricting certain file type attachments rather then content. Somehow they can manage content.......... Other images to these addresses get through. I have experienced the same problem with a business e-mail server in London. I have tried zip, but not the passworded rar. The latter is too much hassle for normal e-mail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
