I get a lot of wine relate emails, including many from wineries where I am a member of the list. For some, though, I just don’t get the emails that most others seem to get. Worse yet, they don’t even ever show up in my spam folder. I’m wondering whether it is a product of a service used by the winery and/or my company (or a combination). For example, this has happened to me recently with Carlisle, Loring, and Rivers Marie. NOTE: Nothing against these wineries, from which I’ve experienced fantastic customer service, and I’ve either received copies of the offer email directly from the winemaker/owner if I reach out, or my allocation is there when I go online and try to find it after reading about the offering email that others post. But it is troubling and I’ll worry that I’ll miss offerings I want. Does anyone else have this same problem?
There’s an alcohol content filter on your email??
It sounds like you are using your work e-mail for the winery accounts. If so, I’d suggest setting up a personal e-mail address (Gmail, hotmail, etc) and use that for ALL personal stuff.
I was never able to get Copain e-mail on my yahoo account. I’d always learn something went out by reading it here. I do not have this problem with any other winery, including Carlisle or R-M. I moved Copain over to my photography e-mail account and no problem there.
Ahh, you are missing The Secret Handshake. It is an unspoken rule usually used by politicians that says more than words ever can say. Like a lot in life, if you have to ask, you’re not in the club.
Yeah, I could, but having everything go to my work account is very easy…everything in one place that is pushed to my phone, ipad, etc. Using a second account is feasible, but not as easy.
I’m told there isn’t, and I get emails regularly from other wineries, retail shops, etc.
You are getting almost everything in one place. ![[whistle.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/8/87d24eb81ec6dc01d84f3d6c19fa9a357e90218e.gif "whistle"){kind=small}
My guess is that you work for a law firm Sean. Many law firms seem to employ the same spam services at the server level (like Commtouch’s reputation service) that block e-mails coming from third party e-mail marketing campaign servers like VerticalResponse, MailChimp, ConstantContact, etc. Having a personal e-mail account would likely solve your problem. Of course, wineries could have dedicated e-mail servers to send out thousands of e-mails at once without being flagged as spammers but then they would have to have staff on hand to run and manage the e-mail server, something most wineries don’t have (and hence why they use the third party e-mail services).
You can lead a horse to water…
You can also have your personal email pushed to your phone and iPad. It just shows up in another folder for ease of separation.
Wherever he works and whatever email service he uses, there’s a lot of spam that doesn’t make it even to a spam folder that is intercepted at the the server or ISP. Gmail for example cuts out a huge amount of spam and sends only the questionable stuff to the spam folder.
