Receiving Email from Brother Wolf
Use the following guide to make sure you get the email you want to receive from us.
Q: I haven’t received the email I was supposed to get from Brother Wolf What’s up?
Q: I subscribed to The Weekly Alerts but I am not receiving some (or any) of the weekly emails. Help!
A:
Our email delivery systems have been thoroughly tested, and The Email Alert’s are sent out every week. So the problem is most likely caused by something between us and you. The most common cause is automated spam filters that mistake our emails for spam (unsolicited commercial email) and block them. Here’s what you can do to prevent that…
Solutions
1. Are you sure you have given us the correct email address? If not email us by clicking the email Eric button on the right at the bottom of the page.
2. Add the following addresses to your Address book or Contact list:
peace at eric wolf (dot) org with all the spaces removed.
wolf at eric wolf (dot) org with all the spaces removed.

This will prevent most spam filtering systems from blocking our emails. Specific instructions are available for…
1. Yahoo! Mail
2. Gmail (Google Mail)
3. Hotmail/MSN
4. AOL.com
3. Depending on how your email account’s spam filtering works, you may be able to add the above email addresses to a “white list” or a list of Allowed Senders (the terminology will vary depending on your email software). Better yet, you might be able to add the domain name “ericwolf.org” to an Allowed Domains list. See your email software’s Help menu for details, or call for free assistance by telephone.
4. It’s possible that more than one spam filtering system may be affecting your email. For example, most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) block a lot of spam before it gets anywhere near your Inbox, and some ISPs use aggressive filtering systems that block legitimate emails along with the spam. If you’re missing a lot of wanted email, you might contact your ISP and ask them to use a less aggressive filter. Or you might just ask them to white list “ericwolf.org”.
Once your email gets downloaded to your Inbox, the email software installed on your computer may have its own spam filter that sends suspected emails to a special folder or mailbox labeled Spam, Junk, or Bulk. Check that folder for email from “ericwolf.org”, and if you find one, open it and then “tell” the filter that it’s not spam. (Look for a button or link that says “Not Spam” or “Not Junk” or something like that.)
5. You may have accidently clicked on “This Is Spam” (or similar spam reporting feature) while viewing an email from ericwolf.org. If you do that, our email address gets added to a blacklist and all future emails from us are blocked. If you have a Blocked Senders list, make sure the above addresses are not listed.
6. Sometimes the Internet slows down and email gets delayed a few minutes. If you’ve tried all the other solutions, you might just wait a few minutes and try again.

4. On the Add Message Filter page, enter the following:
