Having problems getting email from looperman.com
These days in an effort to stop you from being bombarded with spam email most ISPs block mail from sources they are unsure about. Sounds good you might say. Well, yes for the most part it is but the flip side is that they also end up blocking mail that you actually want too.
For example say you turn up here and want to register an account but your registration email never turns up. Bummer, you cant get access to the site using that address and your forced to wander off empty handed or try a different email address.
or... you could try and white list our email
What is white listing and how to use it
In a nutshell, white listing is a method used to tell your email client or ISP that you are happy to receive and trust email from certain domains and addresses.
At looperman.com we only ever send out mail from one of two email addresses so as long as you white list these you should be good to go and you will help teach your ISP that mail from is a good thing. This may even help future users avoid being blocked in the first place as we gain more trust with ISPs.
- no_reply@looperman.com - all automated mail from the site
- admin@looperman.com - mail sent personally by me

If you use a Web mail system or email application not listed above adding no_reply@looperman.com and admin@looperman.com to your 'address book', 'safe list', 'white list' or 'contact list' will usually work.
Also, check your 'spam', 'bulk' or 'junk' folder. If the email is there look for a way to indicate that it is not spam. For example by selecting the email and clicking a button such as 'Not Spam' or 'Not Junk'.
If you are still having trouble please leave a comment describing which email service or client (with software version number) you are using and any other relevant information and I'll see if I can help.
You can also mail me directly for help. If you do though you need to mail me from an address that is not blocked or there is no way I will be able to reply to you.
