I may have had a falling out with a friend... I sent her an e-mail last night and just got it back today. The address is correct... here's what the message said:

"failure notice"

I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

Did the person "block" me? How is it that it would take so long to return? I sent it out @4pm last night and just got it now, a day later at 5:30pm? What gives? I just sent another e-mail, so is it going to go to her spam folder or bounce back?

that's strangely written for a robot, rather human-like.

i'm guessing it may have automatically detected it as spam.

do you mean you had the falling out before you sent the email, and that the email was related to the falling out?
if it wasn't a big falling out i don't really think she'd block you unless you were incessantly sending her emails when she refused to respond...

Never mind. I was wrong. She just e-mailed me back. Thank goodness! That's so weird how that happened! Talk about anxiety going through the roof! I hate being such a spazz!

I've had that message before. It's yahoo trying to be amusing (but actually ends up being infuriating when I'm trying to email someone and I keep getting their goddamn cutesy autoreply).

Ironically, it was an e-mail that I regretted having sent out anyway. I was kind of depressed at the time, and was a little too "honest" with my friend over a couple of issues. I tend to get that way when down... a sort I don't give a **** so I'll tell it as it is attitude. So I'm actually glad it didn't go through. Heh, I'm counting my blessings - lesson learned! Never sulk and type!
