Flood An Old Email Inbox

[beso]

I had an email address for over 20 years. The ISP it was based on was onsold a couple of times but offered redirection of the address. Even when they stopped proving and I moved to another ISP I was prepared to pay a small fee for the mailbox which I did for many years.

Last month they simply stopped accepting payments. So I called them and they said they would not be supporting my email any more. Nice, no warning.

So I hurriedly set up a new email but there was no opportunity for transition by monitoring incoming messages and advising updated address to any senders.

Now I have discovered the address is still accepting mail! So people trying to contact me on the old address have no idea the messages are not getting through.

So I tried sending enough messages to overflow the limit on the mailbox but it just keeps accepting them.

So now I want to send terabytes of messages to it in the hope of getting someone's attention.

Any ideas how I could make this happen?

Your new email address will be labelled as spam, not good. Isn't it possible to close the email service you no longer want?
Or set up forwarding so all your mail gets to your new addy?

Can you do an out of office type email with your new address on it?

You have all missed the point. These numpties shut down my access to the mailbox without warning yet continue to accept mail to the address.

They should be responding to the senders with "invalid user".

Just an odd thought, try googling your email Addy to see what,if anything pops up (other search engines are available)
