IAA NOTAMS Blocked? Read on...

That annoying advertising E-mail, commonly known as "spam" has become a big problem for all of us. It has reached such proportions that most E-mail services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put at least one stringent blocking or filtering system in place, which all of our E-mail must go through.

The problem is these blocking systems often stop E-mail which you want to receive and read. In fact, you might find you are not receiving any of our E-mail based services such as the IAA NOTAMS List, "Email Me My Password" results, Forum posting notices, etc.

Here are things you can do to insure that you will receive this important information coming.

A tip for everyone using any type of E-mail software...

Add our IAA NOTAMS E-mail List address to your Contact List:

Step 1 - Open the program in which you use to read your E-mail.

Step 2 - Add "IAA NOTAMS" and its corresponding address notams<at> flyidaho <dot> org to your E-mail address book to give you a better chance at receiving it.

How to Further Guarantee IAA E-mail Arrivals

These instructions are relevant to users of AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, or other E-mail programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Mail.

OTHER PROGRAMS

Many popular e-mail programs, including Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Mail, do not provide a convenient way for you to mark easily whom you want to receive e-mail from.

If you are using this sort of E-mail system and you are not receiving IAA NOTAMS E-mails, you can do something about it.

Step 1 - Contact the customer service people or the Postmaster at the company that provides your e-mail or Internet connection (your ISP).

Step 2 - Explain to them that all E-mails from owner-notams "at" flyidaho.org and @flyidaho.org are e-mails that you asked for and want to receive.

Step 3 - Ask them if they can white-list the newsletters that you get from @airbase1.com or <at> flyidaho <dot> org. They will probably ask you for some information about us.

Here is what to tell them:

Our Sending Addresses: owner-notams "at" flyidaho.org and forum.master "at" flyidaho.org
Our Domains: @airbase1.net and@flyidaho.org
Our IP Address (for both domains): 208.139.196.227 and 208.139.196.243

As always, just let me know if you need further help!
