Nobody wants to receive spam. The problem of spam has prompted many email providers to become quite aggressive about filtering email messages. Unfortunately, no filter is perfect and sometimes legitimate messages get blocked. Please add x address to your address book to prevent our newsletters from being sent to your spam folder. (Yahoo and Hotmail are notorious for this with our newsletters!) You may want to check your spam folders if you don’t hear from us.
