To Alyra and all.
I finally got access to my Spam/Bulk email section of my ISP, BT.
If anyone uses BT I expect you don't receive the L2 Newsletters and probably miss other stuff too.
I had 990 blocked emails in this Spam/Bulf folder and after months trying to get access, I finally got into it. Only 1 month of mail was there and then its deleted. In the middle of it all was the September L2 Newsletter. I wondered why I never got them, now I know.
I'm going to try and inform BT (British Telecom) that mail from lineage2.com isnt spam but , in the meantime, anyone with BT should get into their SPAM/Bulk folder and set the filters to allow L2 mail.
Alyra, is it possible that NCSoft contact BT to get them to set their own spam filters to allow lineage2.com mail ?

I really doubt it, but I'll check. :) When I used to work at Nintendo, our e-mails were often blocked by certain ISP e-mail spam filters too, and it was really up to the customer to adjust their spam filter settings as they wished to.

This assumes you know emails are being blocked. It was only when you featured my site in the July Newsletter that I never received, that I found I was being sent mail that wasn't getting through.
I have to admit though, apart from NCSoft and an email from Borland/CodeGear, all the others of the 990 were genuine spam.
I've always wondered how they get through. They're often not addressed to you but are delivered. If I send to an unknown address, it gets bounced back.

Actually theres a few nono's in terms of content of an e-mail (read: newsletter). Simple example is putting an URL in the subject: "Lineage2.com newsletter" will get blocked often, while "Lineage2 newsletter" as subject wouldn't. I think it'd be more worthwhile to check for these things in the newsletter rather then contacting ISP's :p (I used to work at an ISP, I know how that works.. err doesn't work, lol). Linking to stuff inside the newsletter or adding jscript might also be a cause of some providers blocking the newsletter.
