Subscription emails.

Jen, are you checking your spam or junk folders?

[jenluckenbach]

My spam doesn't go into a folder.

[Karen]

What program do you use for email?

[Jessika]

Some emails, like MSN, Hotmail or AOL, will automatically block email BEFORE it even goes to your folder, so it may not get sent to your spam folder at all because it never even makes it past their filters! It is their effort to control spam mail, but a lot of legitimate sites get blacklisted along with the bad ones and that could be a result.

Webmail of my ISP......enter.net.

It has a spam filter. But I have it set to NOT delete email, just mark it as [SPAM]. I also have pet of the day on the "white list" to allow emails come through.

I have never had this problem before.

Sometimes though emails may get blocked by ISPs before they even hit your mailbox. Before you receive email on most major email services there are a series of filters they go through before you ever even see the message. In order to deter spam some ISPs have blacklisted certain domains known to spam. If enough members continually mark messages as spam from a particular domain then eventually most companies will add that to their blacklist, too. Even if someone else *wants* to receive emails from that domain.

I know AOL is really bad about this, and Hotmail can be, too. I'm not sure about your specific ISP, you may want to email them about it since you're receiving other messages without a problem correct? I would just drop them a line to see if they don't have petoftheday.com on their blacklist.

If they have it on their blacklist, it doesn't matter what settings you have on your end because it gets blocked before your personal spam filters can even "have a say in the matter", hehe.

cough...cough... I have had a simalar problem for how long now (Karen?). I have had occasions where I had logged out and it would not take my password and had to hit the forgot my password button, then, never got the emails with a new one and after repeted trys, have to contact Karen. This has happened to me for a year or two now until I changed the address to send noticications to here on PT in October of 2007. This was the only place I had that happen but I just assumed it was my computer and forgot about it until I saw this.

Jenn, I will try sending you an email right now, from my PetoftheDay.com email account. If you do not get it, let me know.

[jenluckenbach]

I got the email AND the subscription mailer. WEIRD (but good).

[Karen]

Thanks for letting me know!
