Have you ever accidentally added someone to your blocked/spam/junk e-mail?  email this discussion to a friend?

A while back I sent out invitations to our Labor Day party through e-vite and was getting some responses back. My husband asked me a couple days later if I was going to send out the e-vites because it's getting close and we're going to be away for most of the time beforehand. I told him I did and to check his e-mail - I always send him one so he knows when I've done it. He never got the e-mail and said it's actually been a while since he had gotten one from me. I send him jokes all the time, so I told him to check his Junk mail in Outlook. Nothing there, so I told him to check his spam filter through our provider. I showed him how to do that using IE and there was nothing there. I figured it had gotten dumped already because by this time it was a week or so. So the other day he's bugging me about it again - he hasn't been getting my 3-Day Walk updates. So I went to his e-mail preferences on through the provider and found that our domain was blocked. He wasn't gettting any e-mail from anyone that has our provider either - some of his family and friends.

I'm pretty sure what happened was he got a junk/spam e-mail and instead of hitting block user he hit block domain. He has no clue what a domain is and figured it would just block all the junk. Instead he blocked just about everyone that's legit! I think he's going to be a bit more careful now!

i have never done it to that extent where I have blocked a domain but I have put friends in there some by accident and others becuase I no longer speak to them and want nothing to do with them if you know what I mean.

I have added friends to my block list for that reason also. I don't normally mark mail junk/spam unless it's blatantly obvious because I'd hate to hit one by accident!

I use to do that all the time! I was using bellsouth/att mail and their format bites so bad that it's easy to click on junk and get another email by accident when reporting spam. I switched over to google mail and not had that problem since. I feel bad cuz my friends just assume I didn't like what they were sending me :o(

We're not sure how many e-mails he didn't get from family/friends. We're hoping there wasn't anything important!!!

As a matter of a fact yes I have....my wife. Some time back she sent me an email and I never got it. So I asked her to make sure she had sent it and sure enough, I had blocked her. I think it may have occurred when I blocked every sender in my bulk folder.

I'm pretty sure that's what happened here too. Hard to believe a spouse blocking another, eh?
