Emailers Now Need to Subscribe!

     Please watch your email carefully!  If we have an email address for you in our database, you will be receiving (if you have not already) an invitation to subscribe to the your group's Emailers List. In an effort to reduce the amount of junk email that is being sent, there have been standards established to control the way emails are sent to groups of people. The server that hosts our web site has adopted these standards, and we must abide by them.  This means that we can no longer just copy a list of email addresses out of our database, and paste that list into the “To:” or “BCC:” fields of an email.  We can now only send group emails to recipients who have subscribed to a particular email list.  This process involves sending out an invitation to group members.     

• When you receive the invitation you will be asked to click on a link within the email that takes you to the subscription page.
•  On the subscription page, you fill out your email address, and then submit it. 
• You will then receive another email from the DADA Mailing Service confirming that you are the actual owner of the email address you provided. 
• When you click on the link in the confirmation email, you will then be “subscribed”.   

     This process is called a “double opt-in” subscription.  It is designed so that a computer robot can’t just go in and fill out random email addresses in forms – they want to know a real person is submitting the email address, and that same person really has access to that email account. 

     This subscription list is totally independent of the database we maintain for your group. If you change your email address, you will still need to let us know, and you will need to re-subscribe with your new address.  If you have not ever submitted your email address and would like to, there is a link to the subscription process on the reunion web site. You will also need to send us an email with your email address in order to get it added to the database. 

     I experimented with several different email programs before selecting this particular one.  It is the least complicated of the ones I tried. Thank you for your patience as we implement this new procedure.  I, for one, get a ton of junk mail, and would not mind at all if standards like this reduced the amount I have to weed through every day!

Respectfully,
