Bowl of Saki -- Delivery Problems

Beloved Subscribers,

Some email service providers occasionally reject the Bowl of Saki as spam. Fortunately, it doesn't happen very often. Over the past couple of years, Comcast and ATT have generally been the most common blockers of the Bowl of Saki.

Interestingly however, the free email services from Yahoo and Gmail have excellent anti-spam protection, yet they reliably deliver the daily Bowl of Saki each and every day. Therefore, I highly recommend using either Yahoo or Gmail if you're having trouble with unreliable delivery.
 
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.

Fortunately, however, email service providers have the ability to "whitelist" certain domain names (such as wahiduddin.net) and if there are enough customer requests, they will eventually add wahiduddin.net to their "whitelist", in which case the Bowl of Saki will arrive in your email inbox each and every day.

If you're not reliably receiving the daily Bowl of Saki, please try contacting technical support of your email service and letting them know that discarding your daily Bowl of Saki as spam is not acceptable. They can easily solve the problem (if they choose to).

In order to help to assure that all subscribers receive their daily Bowl of Saki each and every day, this entire web site was moved to a new dedicated server in September 2007, where we have our own "clean" IP address and SPF record which help to assure the most reliable delivery to your mailbox each day.

Please note that whenever there are any email delivery problems, the current Bowl of Saki is always available here on this web site at:

Additionally, the Bowl of Saki is available via an RSS feed.

And, the Bowl of Saki is also available on Facebook.
