Unsolicited email, commonly referred to as SPAM, poses a major challenge when it comes to delivering the emails that YOU have paid us to deliver. As the volume of SPAM increases, ISPs and have become increasingly zealous in their filtering efforts. We have partnered with the industry's leading delivery experts to do everything we can to ensure delivery of our emails, but there are a few steps you should take on your end to guarantee delivery.

If you suspect that you are not receiving our CompleteMarkets Newsletter, or you notice sporadic delivery, you should be sure that our email address is included on your "whitelist" or "approved senders list."

Please consider the following tips and adjust your email client to ensure that you don't miss a single issue of our Newsletter.

AOL

For AOL version 9.0: you can ensure that valued e-mail is delivered to your Inbox by adding the sending address to your "People I Know" list.

• Open the latest issue of our Newsletter.
• Click the Add Address button (over on the right) to add that sender to your "People I Know" list.

Alternatively, you can simply send an e-mail to emails@imms.com

Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get through (for whatever reason), the act of sending it does the job of putting the address into your "People I Know" list--and that's what counts.

If you're using an earlier version of AOL, you'll need to set your Mail Controls instead. Here's how:
