Another suggestion is NOT to use MSN, AOL, or YAHOO as your e-mail provider. Especially AOL.

Hi

Please try not to report ob-gyn-l, ultrasound or other optin list emails as junk/spam to your ISP. Rather go ahead and contact us and we will deal with the problem or remove you from our email lists if that is what you request.

This causes problems for all users of MSN, AOL, YAHOO, etc. They wlll start blocking all emails to all users not just who reported a problem.

If you use outblaze.com, rediffmail.com, netvigator.com, engineer.com and other ISP email systems that are part of outblaze.com email system you may have noticed weeks where you received no email from us.

Outblaze.com has a zero-tolerance spam/junk email policy. A single report of a single email will cause EVERY email to anybody (not just the one reporting the problem) using those systems to be rejected. Only after we get them to remove the block will everyone start receiving emails again. This sometimes takes weeks to make happen.

I doubt people realize that reporting one of the ob-gyn-l or ultrasound emails as junk/spam rather then simply deleting the emails will do this.

Thank you for your help. Bruce bruce.speyer@medispecialty.com

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
