[NEohioPAL] check those spam folders regularly

[Dave Cotton]

The spam flagging may be happening without people even noticing it.

I have to keep a constant eye on my spam folders.  For some reason my computer's software will occasionally kick a single Neohiopal note in there without my knowledge.  There is no logic to it. You send out 30-40 notes a day and maybe once in a month one note will be automatically sidelined in the spam folder.  

When I find a Neohiopal note in my spam folder it is a simple thing to mark it as "Not spam" and move it back into the in box.  
One just has to be vigilant.

THANKS again for this service!!!

Historically, this has been one of the causes of certain email services (roadrunner, aol, others) setting up blocks to not allow Neohiopal mail through and it is time consuming and difficult to get those blocks removed.  Perhaps the spam button was hit by accident and you were just trying to delete, or perhaps because of the large volume of mail certain people have perceived that Neohiopal was spamming them. But this is never the cast, since all people receiving the Neohiopal mail VOLUNTARILY subscribed. If at any time a subscriber wants to unsubscribe you can do that yourself by following these instructions, or if you have difficult let me or Noah Budin know and we will help remove you from the subscriber list.

> An update for you on AOL blocking:  Not sure if you noticed last week, but about 60 AOL emails got disabled again due to AOL blocking reception of NEOhioPAL emails.  I talked to my server admins and AOL admins about this incident.  My server admins are getting email sent out on the "good" server, and AOL's filters are in place to allow them through.  However, the front-line blocking got enabled again because AOL users were marking valid email as spam (AOL admin admitted this).  Although they can't tell if it was NEOhioPAL users or another list - it's only logged by sending email server.
