Make Sure Your E-mail Won't Filter Us! From MarineParents.com

Check our list below if you do not already know how to remedy the issue with spam, bulk, or junk mail folders.

ISPs

Some email providers filter messages based on content, subject line, or the sender's address and may put your email into the a bulk or junk mail folder. Please make sure @marineparents.com is on your "approved sender" list or "whitelist" and/or in your "address book." Occasionally an ISP will institute mail controls that block your email completely without your knowledge. We often do not even receive notice of such a block. The only solution to this problem is for you to be aware what triggers your ISPs blockage and make sure they understand you want to receive our email.
