Default Can't send email from gmail to embarqmail.com or centurylink.net

I manage a mailing list for a club with about 150 email addresses. Today I sent an email to all addresses and all of the embarqmail.com and centurylink.net addresses (about 20 or so) were returned as failed delivery. These email addresses worked ok earlier this week. Anyone know if there might be a problem with centurylink servers today. Thanks

Most of the time the failed delivery receipt will tell you why it was undelivered. If you can "cut and paste" the reply I should be able to tell you why they didn't go through.

You might have been flagged as a spammer although your volume seems rather low for this designation. I would go to the web sites and see if you can someone to contact to resolve.

That's what it was. The recipients spam filters are the problem. Thanks

Now at least you know why they were bounced back.
