Why are so many of my inquiries returning as failed?

Due to the growing problem of spam on the internet, an increasing number of email providers automatically block mail from widely used webmail services such as hotmail, etc. Some email providers automatically block mail from @ec21 addresses.

Our technical staff is working on a solution to this. In the meantime, you can resend your inquiry to the address on the returned mail using a different email account.
