Post by thread:[OT] Automotive Design newsletter

I was hoping that other PICListers could help me out here. Gosh, I've been going absolutely nuts trying to subscribe to the EE Times newsletters over the past couple of days. One of them should be coming from this header: 'spam_OUTfrom_AutomotiveDesignlineTakeThisOuTnewsletter.designlinenetwork.com' I signed up for most of the EE Times newsletters that they offer, but have not received anything at all. After going back and forth with the company that sends out the e-mail newsletters and with my ISP, my ISP claims the following: ===[quote] I have ran a check on that newsletter domain, and find that they are listed on many commonly ISP used Black Lists. They were positive on the following lists: @ISP/blackholes.us @SPAM/spamsource DRBL/drbl.all SPEWS/spews.org FIVETEN/doublelick.net.bulk INTERSIL/flowgo.bulk This means that you are probably not the only person that is not receiving these newsletters. Sometimes a newsletter site is placed on a black list by mistake, but when they are listed on numerous black lists that are used by a multitude of different ISP's, we are unable to allow email to come through from that site. The support center of the newsletter would have to individually contact each of these black lists, and prove that they are sending legitimate expected emails, and not spam. If you can forward this to someone at your newsletter you have signed up with, they may be able to take care of this. If you have any questions for me, please let me know. ===[/quote] Is anyone else having trouble receiving the various EE Times e-mail newsletters? Thanks for anyone's feedback on this.

It looks like your mail provider will not allow you to disable their spam blocking services so, you are probably stuck changing to another provider if you want EE times newsletters. You could try telling EE Times about the problem but they have probably already unsuccessfully tried to get off the spam lists. I know our IT guys have never been able to get our domain off all of the spam lists. Your provider is also changing your outgoing address to: ".....no_spamKILLspam@spam@localnet.com".

How about Gmail? :-) (I've got a couple invites lying around if you want one, email me off-list desterline at tds.net if you want one ) -Denny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Hutchinson" <paullhutchinsonKILLspamyahoo.com> To: "Microcontroller discussion list - Public." <.....piclistKILLspam.....mit.edu> Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 10:46 AM Subject: RE: [OT] Automotive Design newsletter > It looks like your mail provider will not allow you to disable their spam > blocking services so, you are probably stuck changing to another provider if > you want EE times newsletters. > > You could try telling EE Times about the problem but they have probably > already unsuccessfully tried to get off the spam lists.

To: Paul Hutchinson Denny Esterline Gerhard Fiedler Hello to you all, and thanks for responding to my post. I'm sorry I have not replied to your posts in a timely fashion -- I've been away from the computer for a few days. I just wanted to thank you all for taking the time to respond and for offering your help. Yes, I'm currently in contact with a person involved in the EE Times newsletters. It's unfortunate that their domain has appeared on a few SPAM black lists -- forgive me if I'm using the wrong terminology here. My hopes is that they can get removed from the two lists my ISP uses for incoming e-mail, but if not, I'll pursue your suggestions. Aside: Paul, I just wanted to clarify a point you made. That e-mail address of mine you mentioned in a previous post is actually a real e-mail address that I chose -- sorry if that caused any confusion. The 'no_spam' part is intentional and is part of the e-mail address -- I chose it in hopes to remove spam, but sometimes it backfires on me because some people think that they need to delete the 'spam' part, and if they do, I'll never receive the e-mail. I've had a few people tell me that they sent me mail, but after checking my inbox, I find no record of their mail. Thank you all for your help. It's either the newsletters service gets removed from those lists or I use your suggestions. Best regards, Ken Pergola ____________________________________________

Could you please tell me which free email service allows standard POP access? I sure would like free POP access.

I don't use free email that much anymore (not at all, in fact :) and what I still knew from when I did seems not to be working anymore. A bit of googling turned up this page though: http://www.emailaddresses.com/email_pop.htm . It may help you out, in addition to the Google email account for which invitations frequently are offered here. Gerhard ____________________________________________
