But it may be quicker to submit feedback or report a problem through a search engine.
Why?
Placed a call to a Mississippi news station at 06:03 PM (601 960 4426).
Placed a call to the FBI at 6:05 PM (314 589 2500).
Submitted the following to both Microsoft Bing and Google Search though under different circumstances. Bing won't have it as simple as Google - but they did it to themself.
You're trained or skilled in understanding a problem. So you can describe it well enough for others to easily understand it or solve it.
You'd damn well better realize the magnitude of this screw up before finishing what I'm writing.
- I'm emailing from 1 gmail account of mine to another gmail account of mine.
- It worked even though I didn't type the address right or it didn't work when I got a dot ('.') wrong.
- Email or spam detection software creates block lists based on criteria I'm only vaguely aware of but the rules vary all over the place.
- Does a bounced back email saying "couldn't find an address to deliver it to" trigger spam blockers to do something?
- If no, then I'm not sure whether a problem exists or not.
- If yes, then does it block addresses by applying patterns or heuristics or even AI instead of just the one single address it should or shouldn't block?
- What happens to those sending emails who see problems and try to let as many people as they can know there's a problem?
- What if they get an address typed wrong in their in their To, Cc, or Bcc list?
- Do block lists get created or distributed by software trying to be helpful and block addresses?
