Bowl of Saki -- Delivery Problems

Beloved Subscribers,

If you don't find your daily Bowl of Saki in your inbox, please look in your "spam" or "junk" mail folder. If you find the Bowl of Saki in your "spam" or "junk" mail folder, please click on the email, and then click on the "not spam" or "not junk" button in your email program.

Please note that using the "not spam/not junk" button is very important (especially on Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo and Gmail) because it will help to "train" the email system to recognize the Bowl of Saki as legitimate email.

If your Bowl of Saki fails to arrive, you can always read the daily Bowl of Saki on-line at:

Additionally, the Bowl of Saki is available on Facebook, and is also available as an RSS feed.

If you do not receive your daily Bowl of Saki , and it is not in your spam folder, it may be necessary to contact the Technical Support department of your email service provider, explaining the problem and including the following phrase (including the IP address numbers at the end):

Please "white-list" my daily email subscription from wahiduddin.net (64.207.155.81)

Some email service providers occasionally reject the Bowl of Saki as spam. Fortunately, it doesn't happen very often.

Interestingly, the free email services from Yahoo and Gmail provide excellent anti-spam protection, yet they reliably deliver the daily Bowl of Saki each and every day. Therefore, I highly recommend using either Gmail or Yahoo if you're having trouble with unreliable delivery. The free email services of Hotmail and AOL are a bit more prone to blocking the Bowl of Saki from time to time, but are also good choices for free email service.

The worldwide spam situation is a real mess. Each year, and especially around the year-end holiday season, the spammers re-double their efforts to try to get our money. According to some estimates, there are over 10 billion emails sent every day, and 9 billion of those are spam! The email service providers attempt to discard the most obvious spam before they deliver any mail to their subscribers, but unfortunately, in the mindless computer automated process of trying to discard 9 billion spam emails, they also discard or block some small percentage of good emails (such as the Bowl of Saki).

Many of the automated spam rejection algorithms look for certain key words, or for unusual words, and consequently, the Bowl of Saki, with it's unusual words and the frequent use of  "suspicious" key words such as love, lover and beloved is an easy target for rejection as spam.

Enjoy!

with love,
