Blocked Domains and Users

QSL and QTH blocks spam in a variety of ways, the error message you see on your bounced mail is the reason why you were rejected.

Mistakes are always possible so please, if you believe that there has been an error, contact us at k3tkj@qsl.net and we will do our best to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

If you or your internet provider is being blocked by our mail server you will get back a bounce message which has a section that looks similar to this. If you are getting this message you need to contact your provider or better ask your provider to contact us about getting your domain removed from our spam list.
