MSN TV service believes in protecting customers from receiving Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE or spam). To help reduce spam, MSN TV blocks e-mail access to our mail servers from Internet users that have sent spam to our customers.
The following technical requirements apply to the delivery of Internet e-mail through MSN TV's e-mail system.
When MSN TV rejects a mail transfer, we return a 44x or 55x SMTP status code with a text message that indicates the cause of rejection. The most common status codes are:
MSN TV blocks e-mail servers, domains, and individual messages, but not individual senders. A server that has been exploited to send spam may be blocked even though it also delivers legitimate messages. All blocks are temporary in nature, and will lift automatically after a period of between two and ninety days. Unsecured systems will be rechecked immediately before the block lifts, and will immediately be blocked again if they are still unsecured.
