Contest problem - Aliant refusing to deliver emails
Posted by justfred.ca on December 14th, 2006
Afer yesterday's poll suggested the adobe lightroom discount majority of justFRED.ca members want to receive contest and other time sensitive information by email, I sent a adobe lightroom discount brief email to all of our registered members to ask if they agreed.
Most of the adobe lightroom discount mail seems to have gone out without incident. Until Aliant stepped in and adobe lightroom discount refused to deliver our emails to their clients because in their opinion it's spam.
Their tech support group suggests that adobe lightroom discount we send out the emails one or two at a time - it'll only take us an adobe lightroom discount extra hour or two each day to do that. The other suggestion was that adobe lightroom discount we contact all of our members who use Aliant mail services and adobe lightroom discount have each to them complain to Aliant's tech support desk.
So I called their PR department. They're looking into it.
Meantime, while I respect your wishes, Aliant has us in a corner.
Cheers,
George

So the winner is:
