Never Received Tuesday Trivia VI - Aug 8th

Postby Azuma » Tue Aug 08, 2006 2:34 pm

I just checked my email (inbox and junkbox), and I didn't receive this week's quiz. I usually have it in my inbox at the beginning of the day. Just wondering what's up.

Don't know why you guys haven't seen yours, but mine did arrive bright and early. (And Ken just posted on the message board, so I suspect everything's fine with him.)

They all went out without a hitch last night, as far as I know. Everyone should first check their spam mailboxes, like Azuma says (several email services, including Yahoo, tend to flag the quiz as spam for some reason. Possibly all the questions this week on erectile dysfunction.) If it's still not there, email the webmaster account to request a replacement.

I previously asked what the webmaster's address was, but apparently it's webmaster@ken-jennings.com.

Never received Tuesday's Quiz

Postby pkiessling » Wed Aug 09, 2006 3:48 am

I never received Tuesday's quiz either. Is there some place on your Web site I can retrieve it?

Look in your Spam Folder for Quiz

Postby Poquelin » Wed Aug 09, 2006 5:11 am

As I mentioned yesterday, although I received two copies of Trivia VI, I had to retrieve them from my Spam folder

Interesting to hear that Hotmail has been blocking some of the trivia quizzes from getting through -- in the past few weeks, I've been getting far more spam in my Hotmail inbox than I'd gotten in years. I use my gmail address for the quiz and for most other things, so the Hotmail filtering (or lack thereof) doesn't affect me that much.

As Ken mentioned in his blog entry for today, Hotmail users can set ken-jennings.com as a safe domain from which to accept messages via the Options tab. Even so, I think I've had a few messages in the past from "safe" domains get blocked.

I wonder why someone would get two copies? That seems really strange.

Because they want twice the credit!

In most cases, if you're getting two copies, you signed up for the quiz twice with the same email address, for some reason. Like you did, missbitesalot! I saw your address in the list twice. If you're getting two copies and want your duplicate signup removed, email webmaster.

Put me down on the "didn't get a copy this week list." My work's e-mail filters are irrational, but I did get last week's, so unless they've implemented a new rule, I'm at a loss.

I've been getting them all, but they went into my yahoo bulk folder until I added the email address to my address book. But then again, my bulk folder is really irrational- I emailed something to myself and it got placed in bulk! And that was after I added my own email address to the address book! Apparently I'm trying to spam myself? I still get a fair amount of junk in my inbox too.

Oops, I think I meant Azuma. I was thinking of somebody upthread anyway, which seems to get you off the hook.

Anyone posting in this thread: I hope you've also sent an email to webmaster so I can get you a replacement copy (though that may not happen until the weekend, sorry).
