Frequently Asked Questions

I am having trouble sending email, but I can receive without any problem.

If you do not receive an error message, and the email(s) appears to have successfully "sent", however the intended recipients report your messages are being marked as SPAM, please follow the steps below:

1) Try sending the user a message from your web based email, with the subject "message" and the body "This is a test message" (no email signature, etc).  If they report the message was marked as spam, please proceed to step 2, if it was not proceed to step 4.

2) If you have access to a computer connected to another ISP (internet service provider), try repeating step 1 on that other connection.  If they report the message was marked as spam, please proceed to step 3, if it was not proceed to step 4.

3) Contact our support team with the address you are sending from, and the address you are sending to.  For example, from john@doe.com to friend1@aol.com.  The support team will investigate why this might be happening to your messages.  In the meantime, if the intended recipient of your message has either the knowledge or capability to forward the "message source" of the email marked as SPAM, this could reveal what specifically caused your message to be filtered.  Also, if the intended recipient has the ability to add your email address or domain to their "whitelist", generally this will prevent your message from filtered by the respective recipient, regardless of other variables.

The issue could be caused by the ISP somehow incorrectly filtering email from your address or domain as spam.  In most cases, we can contact the ISP and try to resolve this.  Also, we may recommend calling our general services team and asking someone to verify if your email was received by our support team.

4) Some aspect of your message was causing the SPAM filtering software of the recipient to filter it as SPAM.  Possible causes include certain words in the message, and the format of the message (HTML is more likely to be filtered as SPAM).  This can also be better understood if the intended recipient of your message has either the knowledge or capability to forward the "message source" of the email marked as SPAM to you or our support team (the message source typically contains the explanation of why the email was filtered).
