AudioHomeToursMarketingSystems.com
is a perfectly logical name for our service; however, it
may not immediately be recognized by most Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) and Spam Tools as a legitimate domain.
As
a result our emails to you may not make it into you inbox
as desired. As you most likely know, the "whitelist"
allows your email in, and the "blacklist" keeps
it out.
Even
though the email industry is moving toward authentication
and certification to separate spammers and phishers from
legitimate senders, "whitelists" and
"blacklists" are still the first line of defense
for many ISPs and individual users.
They
use both lists to determine whether your email gets
delivered as you intend, to the inbox, instead of the junk
folder and with images intact instead of blocked.
To
minimize the likelihood that email from AudioHomeToursMarketingSystems.com
gets inappropriately identified as junk or spam, we've

sure you continue to receive it in the future, you can do
something about it. Contact the customer service people or

Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them what
subscriptions are e-mail that you asked for (or paid for)
and want to receive. Ask them if they will whitelist the
