Your feedback is important.
This is a big job. Issues that have been idenfitied and dealt with or daling with:
- the service has been operating successfully for 20+ years. However with all the major upgrades in the industry, security issues requiring upgrades, complaints about unsubscribing and tracking down previous emails that may have been used to unsubscribe, unfriendly signup procedures, etc. necessitates that we look at a new service. This will be trial and error for a time. First we are going to try and use the systems that are in place now to see if they can work successfully. Eventually we have to build a new server with new software. We are working on it now, this is at the top of the list being worked on.
- double opt in to any and all list servers is a priority and we are working on it NOW.
- following google guidelines for volume email
- treated as junk mail. As soon as one sends over 50 or 100 or 500 emails they are treated differently.
- as soon as we put certain words in an email they google and others treat it as spam even though it is legitimate mail. If we say it is free to attend something they treat it as spam because of the word free. There is more but this space is too small to explain all the problems we are having.
- as far as I am concerned they should have one spot on the Internet where we can register as legitimate mail senders but there is not. So we deal daily with our paid members getting mail from ICIWorld placed into their spam folder. YOU must make it NOT SPAM, YOU must add the EMail address from ICIWorld as a CONTACT to your contacts list.
- going into spam solutions with spf records, mx records and more.
- blocked email.
- unsubscribing issues
- people change email address, forward it to another, then another, how to remember and unsubscribe original
- trying to make automatic and easy
- 250 email list servers for the world.
- each one may have to manually be worked on.
Thanks to all in the industry for your patience. Actively working on short term and long term solutions.
Many items have been recently solved and fixed but there are more things to do. It is like a house under construction. You can move in but there are still lots of things to do.
