Are you dead sure about receiving of all the important
emails that is sent to you?

"The chances are that you are among the 42% of the
people who ARE NOT receiving the genuine emails and
newsletters that you requested for".

Why this is so?

Increasingly, ISPs are using filtering systems to try and
keep S/p/a/m out of customers' inboxes. Being automated,
these filters are not perfect. Many authentic emails get
caught in these filters.

Sometimes, they accidentally filter that "All-Important-Email"
you were waiting for. And you have no way to know which
of your emails is filtered. The end result is, you end up losing
critical info that may prove to be vital to your business.

Is there a way to solve the problem?

Fortunately for all of us, there exist simple solutions. But the
action has to come from you to make sure that these critical
communications reaches your mailbox - Unblocked.

Six of the most common and easy solutions are given below.
It's simple to implement.
