How to see your own end of the Year Facebook post

Remote host said: 554 5.1.0 Sender denied

If you get the following when sending a message to someone using exchange 2007 or higher. 

Remote host said: 554 5.1.0 Sender denied

Seems like a server side error but actually now outlook or OWA on the application can cause this issue. If a user adds the email address or domain to the block list it will come back with Sender Denied.

Request download of facebook account

Most people don't know that you can request a complete download of your facebook profile, I advise that you do this at least ounce a year specially if you have many pictures that you are afraid to loose and want to back up, the process is really simple:

You can download your information from your settings. To download your information:
  1. Click  at the top right of any Facebook page and select Settings
  2. Click Download a copy of your Facebook data below your General Account Settings
  3. Click Start My Archive
Because this download contains your profile information, you should keep it secure and be careful when storing, sending or uploading it to any other services.

Getting 554 Denied Error when sending an email message

If you get this error it means the message failed permanently, at the receivers server normally it will generate a bounce bounce back to the sender....and will not be re-delivered or re-tried.
example:

554 Denied - Denied for Spam Content

Solution:

If you believe that the message is legitimate and should be delivered, contact the recipient and let them know what you are seeing and request that they Whitelist / Allow your sending address.

Why this happens? 
Although any spam filtering, Firewall or Mail Server can reply with a similar type of error this normally happens when the recipients server is using some type of spam filtering service.

Here are some of the common Spam Filtering service that are know to send back a 554 Denied

MXLogic AKA McAfee

Example Error

host domain.com.inbound15.mxlogic.net[208.65.144.12] said: 554 Denied (Mode:normal) (in reply to end of DATA command)

Resolution/Workaround

For McAfee SaaS Customers, please do one or more of the following:

1. Place the sending domain on the User or Domain-Level allow list in the Control Console.  For instructions on how to do this, please refer to Adding to Domain-level Sender Allow List

Godaddy

554 This IP has been temporarily blocked for attempting to send too many messages containing content judged to be spam by the Internet community. IB110

TIP: In some cases if you get 554 Denied "RELAY is NOT ALLOWED" then the issue is actually on the sending end normally means that when you try to send the message the sending server didn't trust your message and bounced it back, this normally happens if your IP or Domain is not recognized by the sending server as valid.

Motorola Droid MAXX how to take a screen shot / Take a picture of your screen

I searched all over several online support forums on how to do this so I figure I add a quick article about how to do this.

all you have to do is hold down the "Power" button and the "Volume Down" button at the same time for 2-3 seconds the key thing is you have to hit them and hold both down for a few seconds I think that's the worse place to put a hidden gem, because if not done properly it makes the volume on your phone go all the way down or bring you to the sleep screen.
