I too have been a recent victim of AT&T changing the rules of the email game and not once notifying me in advance. I had clients showing up for appointments that I knew nothing about because my email notices were getting dumped into the spam filter all of a sudden. Plus, when I tried to send out emails, I was told my previously good password was now bad and the server did not know me anymore. I have also just read about this AT&T SBC Global changes with no warning in an Apple-Mac online newsletter and they too mentioned the lack of telling customers in advance, resulting a sheer havoc created in many people's businesses and personal lives. Problem is, with the limited choices in internet providers we are pretty much stuck with AT&T broadband or Charter Cable who is no better. Appreciate you staying ahead of the game to keep us advised of these problems and providing pro-active fixes. THANK YOU SpaBoom for shining light on this AT&T and spam blocking mess.

That being said, I can understand how people may not appreciate it when we send our email specials. That is why we set up our website where people can join our email list. I set it up to automatically send new email guests to our email software program (I won't name the company I use out of respect for SpaBoom) which has arrangements with the major players to allow email through. I still have yet to find anything that brings as fast a response as a well-written email (ours is 32 seconds from when I hit send to getting the first call). Spam is the bane of my existence.

Customers should opt-in and pass through more than one gateway to ensure that they want to receive your communications. In addition, make it easy for the customer to unsubscribe. Finally, and most importantly, use a provider that is an expert in the technical details to configuring email and help you evaluate your content to ensure that it will not be identified as spam.
