Hello. A Client of mine is not getting my messages, however I can receive them. I have looked on their end checked, double checked, and triple checked and they do not have me blocked. It seems I am the only one experiencing this problem with their account recently, but it has happened in the past. It is a Verizon account. My address has the word Naked in it (I am a professional organizer: The Naked Flower). Perhaps that is causing it to block me? The client is using Thunderbird. This is the message I get in response 15-120 minutes after I send the message:

P.S. I do have permission from the user of this account to post all of the information in this question, they're just not savy ;)

Given Verizon owns AOL I would assume you are dealing with one company. But regardless that information is very clear. but I am also guessing misleading. where is says "specific email addresses" I am guessing they have selected some option to only receive mail from those in their address book.

My personal experiences with AOL 20 years ago were not good, but I found they had all sorts of content filters that allowed folk to block anything that might not get a G rating. My guess is you are not blocked, but are not in the appropriate address book. Or your mail is being filtered because of language and rejected using the same bounce message.
