Spam Guards

Where have all your Emails gone?

These days, spam guards do a pretty good job at keeping unwanted Email out of our "in" boxes. Unfortunately, they often block Emails we do want as well.

Internet Service Providers like AOL, Bellsouth, and Verizon that host a large consumer base try to protect their customers by filtering out Email from blacklisted Email servers. A server is blacklisted if it receives too many reports of spam Email coming from it. Unfortunately, bulk mailers like MFRMLS (we send more than 30,000 Emails at a time to communicate with our subscribers) are often mistakenly identified as spammers, and placed on a black list.

If you find that you suddenly stop receiving Email or e-zines from MFRMLS, check your spam folder first, and if you don't find it there, call your Internet Service Provider and tell them you want mfrmls.com and mfrmlsezine.com to be put on the white list.
