Dealing with SPAM filters, etc!

[John R]

Always check your SPAM folder, or if necessary, use webmail to access your spam folder with your ISP ... Cox Internet is famous for that one ... if you don't ask, they don't tell you that you have a spam folder online which automatically stops all kinds of things, never to be seen again until you either login to webmail, or the box overflows and then it becomes first in, first out garbage mode. So always check with your ISP for that situation if an email you are expecting does NOT arrive in a timely manner ;) This applies especially to mass-mailings like newsletters, etc ... as most ISPs SPAM filters automatically flag that kind of email as SPAM, unless told different. So always use an email address that you are sure works for Newsletters, etc ... and always add those email addresses to your address book for Spam filters which are on your local machine. As for online Spam filters ... there is usually, but not always, a white list feature which you can add "good" addresses to, and then the filters ignore mail from those addresses.

Hope this helps ...

Hello
I have a question about the time settings on the forum. When I post a reply it comes up that I posted it like 9 hours later than I actually did. The site is in Arizona, right?

The site is actually in Texas (Central Time), but if you have your personal Time Zone setting correct in your profile, it should show all times properly in relation to where you are.

Hope this helps ...
