If you are using the AOL
anti-Spam blocking feature for your e-mail you run the risk of blocking our
ability to communicate with you. The
anti-Spam blocking for AOL requires that you populate your allowed list with
the Internet domains and addresses of individuals or organizations you
wish to receive mail from. If you are
using the AOL anti-Spam blocking feature and do not populate your allowed list
with both of the following e-mail domains and addresses you will no longer be
able to receive mail from us:
stel.sal.pen.org@stel-salaried-pensioners.org
(Please check to ensure the accuracy when entering
into you list – an incorrect entry will result in no communication)
Communication from us to you
commences with the moment of registration.
So if we are not on your approved list at the time of registration you
will not receive the confirmation of registration sent to your e-mail
address. From that point on you will
simply not receive any e-mail from us, nor will we be able to send a reply
whenever you when you contact us.
Also, be warned, that on a
least two occasions, members who had populated their AOL allowed list with the
above two domains and addresses had only limited success inasmuch as they could
contact us and receive a reply, but still could not receive mail from the
Web-Mailer which is used to send out notifications to the membership. Based on that, our advice at the moment
would be not to use the anti-Spam blocking feature if you wish to maintain two-
way communication.
We should also point out
that our communications are not treated as Spam by other service providers who
also employ anti-Spam blocking, and we have yet to encounter a similar problem
with any of them.
