Is Wings And Wheels 'contact the seller' form actually working?

Similar thing happened approximately a year ago while inquiring another owner - I found him via different channels and he said he hasn't gotten any message.

I recently used the contact seller without any reply, guessing it did not work.

After selling a glider, I made five contact seller form inputs and received a reply to each request. Actually one seller reached out to me twice to tell me the glider was sold. I suggested he mark it sold, but it's still out there. I suspect he (sounded rather elderly on the phone) had help posting the original ad and is clueless about marking it sold.

Maybe he's selling it because someone gave him 'the talk'.

I can attest that I am not getting inquiries forwarded to my email of record (in the past I was). I found this out when one person texted me to check my messages. When I did I not only found his message but several others as well that never got forwarded to my email. I now have to check my messages on W&W daily just like my email. If they raise their prices I may have to take my business someplace else!

I find there can be issues with certain freemail providers. Hotmail AKA MSN.com AKA outlook.com, etc, can be problematic. I have issues with virgina..edu e-mails, but guess what, they are hosted by Microsoft, as are several other businesses and universites. Then there's Earthlink, and several domains hosted there also, including the classic ix.netcom.com. Most play by the RFCs created by the IETF, but some clearly don't and don't like some hosting companies. Nor do they use good spam blocking methods. YMMV by a long way.

One spam mitigation plan is to drop mail from minor or unkown mail providers. (Think whitelist/blacklist for mail servers sourcing the traffic.) Where do the mail headers show the mail came from for something that did get thru the 'contact seller' path?
