It is frustrating when you suddenly realize that the Boortz Blast e-mail newsletter has stopped appearing in your e-mail box. No, it's not a liberal conspiracy. This happens for a couple of reasons:

1. You inadvertently Unsubscribed when you visited your Member Settings page.

Rather than go through a long explanation of how to add yourself back to the list, it's easier to just sign up again.

2. Your e-mail provider has filtered out the newsletter, deeming it Spam.

This is more complicated to fix. Here are instructions for fixing this with a few different internet service providers. If yours isn't here, you might need to contact them or check their website for instructions.

Earthlink (and everyone they've bought)

Q: "How easy is it for an EarthLink subscriber to allow bulk email from an organization?"

A: Very easy. While viewing a message in the "suspect email" folder, an EarthLink subscriber can click a single button that will allow future messages to pass directly to their inboxes. Subscribers also have the flexibility to specify that they want to receive email from an entire company (domain). This allows email from any address within that domain to reach the subscriber's inbox.

Our newsletter domain name is lmax.boortz.com

Call Earthlink and ask how to change your settings so the newsletter will come through in the future.

AOL

"Any AOL users having trouble getting messages should contact AOL for instructions on marking emails as "friendly senders" because there are different instructions for different AOL versions and setups."

Hotmail

"To ensure messages from specific e-mail addresses are not sent to your Junk E-Mail folder, you can add them to your Safe List."

Go to the Options page.
On the left side of the page, click Mail, and then click Junk E-Mail
Protection.
Click Safe List.
Type an address or domain (a domain is the part of an e-mail address that follows the @ sign) from which you always want to receive messages, and then click Add.

Our newsletter domain name is lmax.boortz.com

Yahoo

"What do I do if I receive solicited mail in my bulk mail folder?"

We make a concerted effort to deliver solicited commercial and noncommercial email directly to your inbox. If you believe that a message delivered to your bulk mail folder is more appropriately delivered to your inbox, please click the "Not Spam" button at the top of the message. The email will be automatically forwarded to a Yahoo! Customer Care associate for careful review.

If we determine that it is appropriate for Yahoo! to make system-wide changes with regard to this type of message, we will deliver it to your inbox in the future.

If you continue to see these messages in your bulk mail folder and you would still like to receive them in a different folder, you can set up a filter to redirect them to any folder you wish. You can find more information at Filters Help.
