    Bounce codes are often a lie. Do not believe them per se. This has to do with anti-spam methods.

    Actually: Gmail is quite the odd one out. They have their own opinion on how to filter, and quite succesful at it. Hotmail and Yahoo both offer feedbackloop and, sometimes, you can contact them.

    Now the anti-spam organisations sure know each other, and share data. But on a larger scale that you would probably see in blacklists (for a full list of blacklists: http://multirbl.valli.org/). Since you are not blacklisted, I don't think that that is the issue.

    About the messages: Hotmail says you should try again later. Do that. But Yahoo says that there are user complaints... That is probably true. You may actually be sending too little email (that looks like a botnet-like signature). They want a lot of legitimate traffic per IP, not droplets of maybe-spam.

    But to conclude: Email is not easy anymore, even if it is your profession (it is mine). Forget about getting to know what is behind the curtains of blacklists and large inbox providers (they have their hands full on real crime to worry about a few false positives).

    There are enough arguments against that conclusion. Just think of all the lost opportunities for businesses and wasting dollars on crap software, with previous MS business methods.To describe this differently: The MS way, is a dead end and you need extra effort to get on the highway again.

  11. You can workaround this with procedures. Iceland could provide a radiostation which you must monitor being in the area near the vulcano. The radiostation could periodically/automatically say that everything is OK or that it is not. Obligatory notifications that you are entering and leaving the area are often used.

    Spamfiltering is a little bit more sophisticated than greylisting. My mailservers speak SMTP perfectly, it does not validate my content automatically around the world.

    They should not only redesign software for CPU architecture. Most software is created for a single cpu and a single memory space. In real life we have multiple processors, multiple kinds of memory (cache, ram, disk/ssd, raid, san, distributed file systems), network interfaces between server and client (what do you consider 'an application' on the internet?).

    And while we are at it: We have issues with software reuse, bugs (in general) and testability, security. Software development is in the pre-industrial age, afaiac.

    Before designing a system you want to know which problems are solved ('why?') and they must be tangible. Here are some aspects that would be nice to solve: code reuse is nice to save time, reducing bugs, testability, security, stability, high availability, maintainability... Not all problems are solved well in humans.

    They somehow managed to give black people voting rights in US history. So maybe now it is time to stop the political duopoly and allow other parties to effectively have a saying. The current situation is a political non-compete-scheme.
