Why was my email rejected?

Asked by askmypoop (40points) January 30th, 2011 from iPhone

I was trying to send a photo to myself from my mom’s iPod touch, and everytime I tried to send it it said “the server” rejected my email address. Whats going on?

Can you send it as an MMS to your iphone?

Did you check to see that there were no typos in the email address?

How big is the photo? Some servers will limit the size of the attachment allowed. Anything over 5MB could be a problem. Did you try a different email account?

:) @marinelife Is that a typo in your response?

@Blueroses Nice catch, thanks!

@jazzticity Oh yeah, I should check the size… that might be it. I did try my second email but I got the same message.

Oh. It might be a temporary i(thing) issue. 2 of my facebook friends are complaining about not being able to send photos today.

I have a Verizon account and do not accept photos. Nor do any of the other members on my family plan. That was an option I set up when I opened the account. I did not want people sending me pictures of Muffy the dog or their kids or anything else for that matter. Use email.
I’m such a Scrooge!
