Within the last 12 hours Microsoft has started blocking all messages that link to YouTube. Messages are not received and the sender gets the dreaded “The following message could not be delivered to all recipients” error.
In the past, Microsoft has taken measures to stop propagation of viruses by blocking messages containing phrases such as gallery.php, download.php, .scr and .pif. I see no virus here.
YouTube now joins the list of blocked sites including eBuddy and MediaFire. eBuddy was supposedly blocked because of advertising messages when starting a new conversation, and MediaFire blocked to try stop distribution of the leaked Windows Live Messenger 9.0.
I’m completely baffled as to why a block would be placed against YouTube, and eagerly await an explanation. Trying to hamper competition like this just seems ridiculous, it’s not like this would go unnoticed, lots of users are complaining on forums already.
Workaround? Try the domain youtube.info instead, or remove the http://www.
This really sucks….Ya Know????
works for me
