FAQ's

What if my Subscriber is not receiving the messages in Red?

The Subscriber's ISP is rejecting messages shown in Red. In this case, make a copy of the information in the Red message. Send it to your Subscriber and ask them to file a support ticket with their ISP to investigate.

 

What if my Subscriber is not receiving the messages in Green?

The Subscriber's ISP is receiving the mailing list messages shown in Green. We do not know what happens after that.

Ask your Subscriber to check the following:

- Are messages shown in their Spam or Junk folder?
      - If yes, ask the Subscriber to add your email list address as a Safe Sender.

- Has a filter or rule been created that is sending the message immediately to a folder?
  (or possibly deleting upon receipt)

- Did they accidentally add your email list name to the blocked or junk list?

If this does not resolve the issue, make a copy of the information in the Green message. Send it to your Subscriber and ask them to file a support ticket with their ISP to investigate.
