Get control of your Inbox

There was a time in my life when email handling would bring my productivity to a standstill. It was often that I put off an email response because I believed it deserved more time then I had to offer at that moment. The problem that brought is that I often forgot or the email became buried under many others. Over the years I have found that any response to an email is better then a good response at a later time. Last year I was receiving a great deal of emails inquiring about pricing and packages I offer for wedding photography services. Each email was unique enough that a boxed answer or saved response would not be sufficient. Emails were falling through the cracks. Often it was weeks before I responded due to being so far behind. Brides act quicker then that. Besides that, I was guilty of saving emails after I respond to them. I would have 100 or so in my inbox that I kept there in case a response came back with out the first communication attached to it. When that grew to difficult to manage I set up folders in my email application to keep them organized. I never went inside those folders. If I need to find something, a quick search would bring me what I desired thus rendering the organization of my emails pointless. It would be no different if they were all in one folder. After watching the InboxZero video I decided to implement that as my new policy for email handling. On occasion I backslide, but it does not take as much effort to get back to an empty inbox as it used to. For a person who receives 50-100 legitimate emails a day and 4-5000 in spam, inboxzero has helped me beyond measure. I suggest you watch this video and use from it what you believe would work for you.

Error sending email to sbcglobal

I received a call today from Curry Computers here in Modesto. A mutual client of ours, AgPollen was having issues sending email to SBCGlobal email addresses but they could receive email from them. Every email would get returned by the Mail Daemon with a 505 failed delivery attempt. In this instance they are sending email from their domain, agpollen.com. Here is the solution I provided which I came about via. trial and error over the years working in this industry.

Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) in an attempt to block spam just flat out deny incoming attempts from unrecognized domains. That goes for many of us as we are all small to medium sized businesses that SBCGlobal could care less about. I have also seen this problem with Charter Internet. So what do we do to get around that?

It really is quite simple. You change your outgoing mail server. If you are using a mail client such as Outlook Express, Outlook, Mail for the Mac or any other Mail Client then you will need to change your outgoing mail server to that of your ISP. For SBCGlobal (formerly Yahoo) the outgoing mail server is (smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com). For a full list of major ISP’s incoming and outgoing mailservers see below.

Accessing Email from your Domains with your ISP
If you have POP3 email accounts with your own domain, with most ISPs you retrieve your email using your domain’s incoming mail server, and you send email using your ISPs outgoing mail server.

For most ISP’s you use:
incoming: www.yourdomainname.com or mail.yourdomainname.com
outgoing: use your IPS’s outgoing mail server from the list above
