Is your email address Bell.net or Sympatico? PLEASE READ, IMPORTANT |
If your email provider is Sympatico or Bell.net, all emails coming from the Bridge Centre of Niagara have been blocked. This usually happens because the provider runs a program that screens for spam/fraud/phishing etc., and if their program suspects an email to be suspicious, it will disallow all incoming emails from that source. Often such programs are overly rigid, and reject very legitimate emails, such as ours.
Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done at our end, and until your provider allows emails coming from members@bridgewebsemail.com, you will not be able to get any emails from The Bridge Centre of Niagara. Furthermore, if you get emails from another bridge club, many of whom use the same system as we do, you will not be able to receive emails from those clubs either.
Here are my recommendations:
1. If you have an alternate email address, please update that in your BCON member profile. That will immediately solve the problem, and you do not need to do anything else.
2. Ensure that members@bridgewebsemail.com, is added to your known contacts. Our BCON emails come from this address, and it is this address that your email provider is blocking.
3. Resubscribe to our emails following the steps given below. You must go through the resubscribe process for your email address to be accepted. I do not expect this to be a permanent solution, if at all, but it must be done.
4. Contact your email provider. They will likely ask you for an error code. You can give them this information:
Transaction failed. The server response was: 554 5.7.1 [VI-1] Message blocked due to spam content in the message. [15.235.99.33:24903->129.158.33.68:25]
Here is a document to show you how to change your email address and update your personal information in our BCON system.
Please send me an email if you still need help.
Dena Jones, Webmaster

When? Wednesday mornings from 9-11, starting February 8. Cost: $10 per session - coffee included. No partner is required.
