For some reason hanmail is blocking all hotmail accounts.

Blocking all non-Hotmail accounts or blocking all Hotmail accounts?

Hanmail, Naver, Daum, and just about every other Korean email service automatically blocks emails from every other non-Korean service (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc.) or labels them as spam.

Because, you know, here is Korea.

Not really news. If the person you're sending the mail too puts you on their allow list, there won't be a problem. I think having them send you an email first usually lets that happen.

Or you could get a Korean email yourself.

Yeah, I love how any non-Korean mail is automatically trash. Good luck on that globalization thing, Korea.

And they don't tell you that the e-mail was blocked either, so you could end up sending countless e-mails and assume you are being ignored.

I am sending and receiving from hotmail to hanmail with no problems.

Likewise, I've never had a problem sending email to Koreans using my hotmail address.

Not to mention - tons (most?) Koreans have a hotmail/gmail/etc. account. The ones I've talked to say this problem doesn't exist.

Hanmail blocks my email server, a local cable company in Ontario, Canada.

Yes, I could use a different server. But why should I have to? The Internet is supposed to be global, and I won't cater to an ignorant email server like Hanmail. I just tell my students to open another email account with a non-xenophobic company.
