My Computer Will Not Allow Me To Send An E-mail To The Address In Craiglist

I would like to get in touch with 1 or 2 of your clients but my computer is not compatible with the format. It is possible to get a phone number or can you provide the seller my information so they can write to me?

We can't and Craigslist won't. Sorry.

Craigslist says that in an effort to curb abuse of its email servers and limit the amount of spam inflicted upon its users, it does not accept email from computers with dynamically assigned IP addresses, or hosts that have generic DNS setup.

The easiest solution may be to use the mail server of your ISP to relay your email. If you're not sure how to set up your mail client to do this, you may need to phone your ISP. If you have a static IP address and want to be able to send email through your own mail server, you will need to ask your ISP to set up a non-generic DNS for your IP address. If these suggestions don't work, you may want to use one of the many free Web-based email systems.

You'll find more information on this Craigslist page.
