Confirm Your Email Subscriptions

Some of you might have noticed that my site was down for a portion of the day (the 3 of you who read it). Bluehost informed me that my site had been deactivated due to spamming. Evidently, someone who signed up for email is reporting the emails as spam.

Bluehost confirmed that I meet all the requirements under the TOS and reactivated the site. I have attempted to reroute the emails but that was unsuccessful.

If you receive emails from me and do not want them please click the link at the bottom of the email and you will be unsubscribed. If you have trouble with this you can contact me via the contact form and ask me to remove you and I will be happy to do so.

I do not add people to get emails so I cannot understand why someone would sign up and then report it as spam.

About My Emailed Posts

This is a quick post to inform every person who gets my blog posts via email that I have been notified by my provider that they received complaints that I was spamming people.

I demonstrated to them that my email sign up system is a double opt in which means that a person has to sign up with an email and then confirm that sign up by clicking a link in an email sent to the sign up address.

They were satisfied that my system is double opt in and has a mechanism to allow people to be removed from the emails. I also include instructions on how to be removed at the end of each post.

They were also of the impression that someone was not happy with the content and decided to report it as spam rather than unsubscribe. I have removed a person who fell in that category but I wanted to post on this to ensure you still want to receive the emails.

If you do not want them please click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email you get and follow the instructions. If that does not work or you have a problem please email me and let me know to remove you and I will be happy to do so. I will need you to provide the email address that is receiving the post notifications.

Rest assured that I did not add any names to my database and that I did not spam anyone. All email addresses were entered via the form on the front page (except some family members who were entered by me, with permission) and that someone had to confirm the registration.

Thanks for your time and have a nice day.
