I am SUCH an idiot...

I've been on a long dry streak, mostly since I created a separate email address just for entering sweeps. I had a small win or two, but was wondering why the win notices had dried up. THEN, I saw a Tip of the Day in the Sweepstakes Advantage newsletter: If you're using Comcast, etc. they may be filtering win notices as SPAM. I'm using Cox.net so I logged in and checked the settings. There plain as day, on the sweeps address, THIS was staring me in the face (picture attached).

THANK YOU for the Tip of the Day, here's hoping I've corrected an ongoing problem and opened the door to receiving win notices. I'll never know what I missed the past couple of years... :(

I've reset the option to not filter any SPAM. Can't believe eliminating SPAM without delivering it is the default!
 
I too had Cox.net issues, so ending up with a Gmail account. From what Ive heard the .net is cheaper than the .com
