Question

Where to get free IP adresses

by Mar 17, 2015 11:53AM PDT

I went to freeiprelays.com and it led me to www.hidemyass.com, but things aren't free there. Can someone please provide a link where I can get free ip addresses?

Also, I sent emails from my Yahoo accounts. Each email has many recipients. I see sent emails in the sent box and there is no message saying that Yahoo wasn't able to deliver the emails. However, the emails aren't reaching the recipients. Is it because Yahoo recognizes my IP address and is able to stop the emails because it suspects I am spamming?

All of which makes sense.

Folk that are trying to hide will find blockages like that. If you want to send email, why hide? What are you doing?

Spamming?

It's called blacklisting

when a company disallows email from a specific email. This usually happens when huge amounts of email come from a specific IP and it can jam the recipients email server. Your email address is determined by your internet provider since your on their network.
