As you all know we recently moved PAFOA to a new hosting setup.

In doing this, one of the new requirements for us is that we have to run all of our outgoing email through a third-party email delivery provider which watches us very closely on how many of our emails are marked as spam. If our spam rate goes over a certain limit ISPs will stop accepting our emails.

Because of this, we simply cannot accept people marking our email as spam when they can just as easily unsubscribe (which we honor)

There are currently a few ways that you can receive email from PAFOA, here they are and how to disable them:

  1. Our mailing list: Visit your User CP and uncheck "Receive Email from Administrators"
  2. Email from other members: Visit your User CP and uncheck "Receive Email from Other Members"
  3. New Private Message Notifications: Visit your User CP and uncheck "Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages"
  4. Thread Subscription Notifications: Visit your Thread Subscription Management and delete subscriptions you no longer wish to receive.


Please keep in mind that when we issue this infraction, it's not that we actually want to ban you, it's because we have to immediately stop sending email to you. If you receive this infraction please contact forum support and we will work with you to reactivate your account after educating you about why it is critically important that you do not mark our emails as spam.

Thanks!
