I attempted to contact a company in the USA via email. I tried yahoo mail and Outlook and both times the emails were returned unable to be delivered. I checked the web page of the company and it would appear that it is current.
The email address commences with webmaster@ .........
Are there protocols for some companies who have webmaster in the email not to receive emails from overseas?
regards

a lot of servers bounce yahoo, hotmail, gmail..... and any other free accounts that spammers love to use. |

I also sent it to them via Outlook and it bounced.
In the meantime I forwarded it to a mate in the US to see if he can make contact with the company.

could be.
Hopefully the US mate may have better luck. If not then you could be on the money. |

doesn't matter what email program you sent it from it depends on what the address is so if it was roadnazi@yahoo.com.au it probably wouldn't go through but roadnazi@optusnet.com.au might go through for example |

Just because the email address is on the site and the web site is valid, doesn't mean the email address is actually valid.
What is the error message you are getting? Normally the error will point you in the right direction. |

webmaster@ should be a valid address for almost any domain. |

Maybe you are thinking of postmaster@ which is meant to be mandatory. webmaster@ is nothing but a common courtesy.
Again, what is the rejection you are getting? There are many different types of rejection from blocked domains to 'no such user'. |
