Increasingly, ISPs are using filtering systems to try and keep Spam out of customers' inboxes. Sometimes, they accidentally filter the e-mail that you want to receive.

The format and language in The Dreamtimes, and our free Numerology samples sometimes causes The Dreamtime e-mail to be filtered out as Spam, and delivered to your "junk" or "bulk mail" folder, even though we never send unsolicited email.

In many cases you are not notified and neither are we, that The Dreamtimes e-mail didn't get through...

To make sure that The Dreamtime e-zines, samples, e-mail courses and support e-mails are not filtered into your "junk" or "bulk" folder, please add The Dreamtime to your list of trusted senders. Follow the directions below.

Many popular e-mail programs, including Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape don't provide a convenient way for you to white-list the folks you want to receive e-mail from. If you're using this sort of e-mail system and you either aren't getting your The Dreamtime message or want to make sure you continue to receive your The Dreamtimes in the future, you can do something about it.

Contact the customer service people or the Postmaster at the company that provides your e-mail or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them that The Dreamtime is e-mail that you asked for and value. Ask them if they can white-list The Dreamtime. They'll probably ask you for some information about us. Here's what to tell them:

• Sending Address: If they ask for our address, give them the addresses listed below.
      brett@thedreamtime.com
      brett@thedreamtimemail.com
      brettdream@sbcglobal.net
  
  
• Domain: If they need to know the domain we're mailing from, tell them all of these:

    thedreamtime.com
    thedreamtimemail.com
    sbcglobal.net


• IP Address: If they ask for our sending IP address, tell them all of these:

    204.10.70.175
    216.29.53.130
    76.208.xxx.xxx
