yahoo is yelling at me

what is this talking about?? is this a person or a bot?? why do i feel like im being lectured by a high-school teacher??

that email address i tried to send a message to is one i tried to start up with dream-host, and i guess it hasent gone through yet the site said it might take 3 days

im confused

It’s automated. It’s just telling you that your email didn’t go through and it’s not going to try anymore. AKA better luck next time.

If you try to go to http://www.thrivecreations.com/, it times out so their server is probably down right now.

that’s called propagation. it takes time for all the dns servers across the net to get updated with the new domain name. they can’t find the domain until they are. give it a little bit and all should be fine.

there PR should be fired

it should be more like this

" sorry but we were unable to send your email “emails name” please try again

instead of

“this is a permanent error,im giving up, im not trying again, this has been in queue too long, go screw yourself”

when i first got it i felt like i was in trouble

gotcha, thanks

That’s called “nerd humor”. Unix geeks humanizing the mail program.

Some people don’t appreciate it. :wink: I remember this place I worked at some time ago, where a few people would get annoyed at Eudora for saying things like “Excuse me, Eudora could use some help.” (And my favorite: “You may as well stop typing now because no one is listening.”)
