Looking for advice

[Chuck Nessa]

I received an email directed from another jazz bb. The guy asked about my AE set and said I could respond to his Yahoo account. The message also included the address he posted from. I sent a message to the Yahoo account and received this message: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

<xxxxx@yahoo.com>

(reason: 553 VS10-RT Possible forgery or deactivated due to abuse (#5.1.1) 209.225.28.130)

Then I sent a message to the address posted from and received this: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----

<xxxxx@prestigemed.com>

(reason: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable)

Finally I responded though the jazz bb email system.

What do you think?

Smells fishy to me, man.

The 550 error is quite common, and not a problem. You can get that from spam filters, downed mail servers, too many emails in a person's queue, etc. I'd be concerned about the 553 error, would see if he has a plausible explanation - but don't take any personal checks quite yet.
