Are you not receiving e-mails from dotTech? If so, please read this!

Hey Friends,
I have gotten numerous e-mails from lots of people telling me that they are no longer receiving e-mails from dotTech (e-mail notifications/registration confirmation e-mails). Believe me when I say I am not ignoring your e-mails of distress that you have sent me. I have replied to each and every request of assistance regarding these issues; the frustrating part is that people who are not receiving e-mail notifications or registration confirmation e-mails are also not getting any reply e-mails I send to them manually, so it seems like I am ignoring everyone whereas I am not. So, please bear with me for a few days – I am trying hard to fix the issue.
If you are one of the people not getting e-mails from dotTech, you can help solve this problem by posting a comment below telling me what e-mail service provider you use (i.e. @hotmail.com, @gmail.com, etc.). I believe it is Gmail users that are having problems but need to confirm this.
Thank you.
Take care,
Ashraf

@ Ashraf this seems like a good time to dust off and start reviewing and reviewing SPAM Programs for email. Just a suggestion.
@ Everyone esle
1. get a SPAM program for your email
2. create a folder in your email client that contains all the addresses of all newsletters, or any email you recieve on a regualar basis. You can call it the “White” folder or anything else you care to call it. I’m assuming you already have folders with your personal contacts.
3. notify your provider directly and tell them to stop blocking Ashraf’s email to you.
4. consider getting the rss feed instead of email.
just a suggestion
Seems to be a SPAM filter problem, leading me to wonder why the email’s are flagged as SPAM…
Google is out to get me.
@Everyone: Thanks for the feedback. I am making a few behind the scene changes to helpfully get this rectified. (However, please everyone check your spam/junk folders and add admin [at] dottech.org to your white/safelist!)
@Ashraf: Hmmm, maybe they’re not too happy with our articles on them?
@Samuel: ROFL! Wait till I ever get around to that other Google article we talked about… =).
@Ashraf: I was thinking of that one too! Maybe we should ‘bash’ some other company…Apple seems like a good target right now :D
Hi Ashraf
I ‘ve been watching you on gaotd for some time, I like that you give your opinion. I am a novice so to speak. I do not download a lot.
But, I did do the Avast when you said you were going to try it..But but, I just uninstalled it, Hey it is 163MB, and I found that it really did slow down my PC.
I thank you for al the advice (the good) the (bad).
This is the 3rd time I’ve tried to send this..hope it works this time.
@Samuel: Yeah, Steve Job and his stuck-up crew of punks – trying to get rid of Flash, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
@mary: I sorry – your comments probably got sent to dotTech’s spam folder (the irony…). I will look through it now to clear any legit comments.
@Ashraf: I was thinking more about the new DLA for iPhone OS 4.0
@Samuel: DLA? Speak English man, I don’t understand French. (I Googled DLA and I came up with Defense Logistics Agency which, in my opinion, is not what you are referring to.)
That said, I hear many people aren’t very impressed with v4.0 – new features that are being added have already been added by jailbreakers, etc.
@Ashraf: What I really want is an Android phone.
@Ashraf: Developers License Agreement.
For the most part yes, though on the flip side as a friend of mine said it’s better to not have to jailbreak.
Eh…I want my Windows Phone 7.
@Samuel: Ah, that agreement. Yes that is what I was referring to when I said they are trying to get rid of Flash (i.e. the clause that goes something along the lines that you need to write programs in native code or something – I am clearly not a developer.)
I heard Windows Phone 7 was a fairly good OS. However, I just can’t see it out doing Android at this point. (I want that talk-to-text app – my friend has it on his Droid and its so cooooooool.)
@Ashraf: True, but they updated in 4.0 so now you can’t use third party tools offically, like MonoTouch.
Lol. I’m sure some one can and maybe will make that for WP7.
@Samuel: Yeah, I can see a similar thing coming to other smartphone platforms. Any idea on how far off WP7 is ? I am currently running a WinMo phone and not particularly impressed with it.
You hear about Bada OS? Samsung is coming out with their open smartphone OS. If they make it non-proprietary, I can see it kicking everyone else’s *** simply of how many phones Samsung makes.
That said, dude we are so off topic. Man I am really bad at enforcing the no-off-topic-rule.
I use gMail. Sometimes dotTech messages are filed as spam. This happens sometimes to other regular sources of email, I don’t know why.
I strongly suggest that gMail users check their Spam folder regularly.

Until I read this notice, I didn’t realize there was an email notification system for your site (which is invaluable). I signed up using an Earthlink address. I received a prompt response for confirmation and clicked the appropriate link with no problem whatsoever. Thanks!
@Ashraf: Well, offically WP7 is comming out sometime the end of the year.
I think I head of it…I’ll wait and see.
Well…not too off topic…well….at least theres a thread off connection!
I guess you’ve already isolated the source of the problem, but, for what it’s worth, I use “…hotmail.com” for dotTech.org e-mails and have received every one you have sent.
I see a new freebie on the advertisement bar! It’s “WinX DVD Copy”! Well, I don’t need it ’cause I don’t have any DVDs to backup and I rarely use them anways… O_O
