Your IP address has been handed down to you from previous users and sometimes you share the same IP address as others. If your IP address has had a history of being blocked or reported as spam, it will carry that stigma to anyone who uses it. You can correct the situation in a couple of ways:<ul><li>Contact the administration of each of the domains that block you and ask to be removed from their black list (their address is often abuse@[domain-name-here])</li><li>Ask your host, in your case 1&1.com, to change your IP address</li><li>Move your hosting to a new company that doesn't have a record of providing services to spammers</li></ul> A quick check with any number of websites you would consider are being run by reputable and professional organizations and you will see they all use email addresses with their domain name. Check the websites of your favorite household products, the manufacturer of your vehicle, the nationally recognized stores you like to shop at or the television stations or movies you enjoy. They do not use email addresses provided by their individual Internet Service Providers, they use email addresses that use their domain name because it is part of their brand recognition scheme. In your case, Jerry, using cox.net only helps cox.net, it doesn't help <a href="http://www.custom-surfaces.com/" rel="nofollow">Custom-Surfaces.com</a>. - R'gards, Jim That is almost always the fault of your IP address, Jerry, not your email address.

Spam filters are constantly filtering out my website address but will allow my cox.net to get thru. I get people emailing me thru my contact page but when i reply some don't get it. They email me back with the same question, over and over and over. have a great day partner. Jerry I have found it works better for me to use a different email address other than my website.
