Just a short question anyone in this group: can you tell of someone has your emails blocked?

1. You can find out how many are blocking you, but not who...

go to My Profile, Transparency tab - click to show it - scroll and you can see the data.

2. On this site or generally?

3. Assuming that you are talking about email delivery in general,

Emails blocked by a person normally just end up in their trash box or deleted by inbox rules. You will not know about this.

Emails blocked by a mail server should get you a response back about the failed delivery, normally with a vague to helpful reason for the failure.

6. What he said

There is the special case of when you/your host are on a blocklist/blacklist at the receiving server where often there is no response. Additionally some mail admins are not doing bounces for any reason.

7. here's something to consider -

if you send someone an email, even an email they are anticipating, if you use certain expressions in the wording of your header, your email might go to spam.

I run a small bizness, with my spouse, and I can't tell you how many times a week, someone will go to send me something and I never get it.

Once it was because they put the words "The check is in the mail" in the header.

Another time it had to do with the expression "re:" or "regarding"

The spam filter grabs emails with those headers, and since my email boxes often get 150 emails a day, I really cannot go into spam to look for things.

I have found a few expressions like "a brief note" work well to get around the spam filter.

There is also a way to tell your email that you want mail from a certain address, but I am clueless as to how to do that.
