 |
|
| I use Inbox.com for my email service. It is free 5GB email with a nice interface etc. I tried to register on Lifelesspeople.com using Inbox and it said the address was banned. I'm not sure if this is in the right place but just wanted to know why is it banned ? |

I believe it was originally banned because the addresses were being used by spambots.

I think people might be confused by this. I doubt inbox.com would allow this. But, I know on my forums the spam bots signed up with inbox.ru, not .com. Which are two different sites.
I just signed up with inbox.com and im ust say i like it better then gmail. I even got damnit@inbox.com WOOT!

Yes, but disabling a commonly used email provider such as the 3 you mentioned would block access to legitimate users. Maybe Trel didn't expect anyone to use an inbox.com email as most have an email with a more common provider so it seemed to be no problem to disable all inbox.com emails. |

I think Trel was confused with he or someone else added inbox.com to it.
As i said, the spammers are inbox.RU which is another country, company etc.
I'd really like for inbox.com to be removed so i could use my active email address here to properly get updates and such things.
