MCC News of the Week - Tiscali Users

Once again, Ticali has chosen to block the MCC newsletter.  If you are a Tiscali user, you should complain to them using to following letter, relacing the XXXX with the relevant detail:-

To: ISP Customer Support
Subject: Remove Constant Contact Block

Hello. My name is XXXX and I have been a customer of your services since XXXX. I understand that you employ filters and/or blacklists to protect customers like myself from unsolicited email; however, this has made it impossible for me to receive newsletters, announcements, and promotions that I have requested.
I value these communications and would like to receive them using this email address. The sender of these emails uses an email marketing service called Constant Contact. Constant Contact is not an open relay and has strict anti-spam policies in place. Because your filters block emails from Constant Contact I am unable to receive these communications. I ask that you please help me determine why these emails are being blocked.

For further information about Constant Contact or to request more information from them such as log files, the Ops team can be reached at - 001.781.472.8103 or ops@constantcontact.com.

Mail from Constant Contact can be found with the following characteristics:

"Envelope from:" domains:
@in.constantcontact.com
@in.confirmedcc.com
Sending IP’s
Beginning in March of 2008 Constant Contact will start to migrate all outbound mail IP’s to one consolidated block. This may take over a year to complete and IP’s will be removed from the list below once they are defunct. All future mail from Constant Contact will be sent from:

  2. I cannot supply the error message, as the e-mails are system generated, not by me.
    The information supplied in the CG message should be enough to allow Tiscali to do their job.   If they can't/won't then you all need to keep nagging at them.   No Tiscali users received NOTW this week either.

  3. In answer to Simon I did get a reply to my first complaint but it only asked me to confirm who I was! I have re-posted the whole message again this week and have asked what is happening. Robin.

  4. Posted on behalf of John Aley:-   I am sorry to read from CG of the Tiscali problem which is preventing some of our MCC members receiving NOTW.
     
    I regret I don't know how to post messages on to CG direct but I wonder if you would mention that if anyone ever misses NOTW  an Email direct to me - johnaley@portwrinkle.fsnet.co.uk - will ensure one is shortly winging its way to him - or even her if appropriate.   John
