General Inquires
Q: I am signed up for e-mails but I am not receiving any of them. Why? And/Or I am signed up for many e-mails but I only receive one per day. Why?
A: Your e-mail program may not be accepting HTML e-mails. You may want to change to the text version of the newsletter and see if that resolves the issue.
If it does not, the cause is most likely a spam filter. Spam filters are the most common reason users do not receive their e-mails.
Their are two primary levels of spam filtering:
1. Mailbox level spam filters: Check the settings on your e-mail software (for example:Outlook). Most systems have junk e-mail settings, check to see how they are set up to detect spam and modify if needed.
2. Internet Service Provider Level spam filters: Some ISPs, such as AOL, set up filters at the server level. The rules they have in place may be stopping your e-mail newsletter or alert. To check this, contact your ISP.
Q: I received my breaking news 3 days late. Why?
A: Anti-virus software at the server level occasionally filters mail that they suspect could contain a virus. This may delay the delivery of your email while it is going through that security system. You may want to contact your e-mail administrator for assistance on setting filters to allow our mail to reach you.
Q: I am going on vacation. Can I suspend my e-mails?
A: 1. Enter your e-mail in the "Already A Subscriber" area.
2. In section 1 of the form a drop-down will appear called Account Status. Change the status of your account to "off".
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and hit submit.
