I got some more information on this email mess.. This was posted on the Veretekk forum and I felt it was important that we the little guy marketing on the net knows the truth...
America Online is phasing out its Enhanced Whitelist, replacing the bulk-mailing program with Goodmail's CertifiedEmail program. The new system will carry a fraction of cent fee to commercial mailers for every email with images and hyperlinks.
A statement released by AOL Postmaster Chales Stiles revealed:
· On April 3, 2006, AOL will change the qualification criteria for the Enhanced Whitelist by lowering the complaint threshold to an extent that will significantly reduce the number of IP addresses included in the program. · On June 30, 2006, AOL will terminate Enhanced Whitelist privileges. This change will disable links and images by default from all non-certified bulk email viewed from AOL 9.0, AOL webmail and all subsequent client releases. As always, links and images can be enabled by the end user on a message-by-message basis.
From Thomas Prendergast: As we move forward to deliver our free ESP traffic portals, (justhemail.com), a free POP mail service, we will begin a system wide blackilisting of all email to AOL accounts and offer our free POP email in all of our forms as an alternative.
If any of you are experience not getting email from your Veretekk system, this is why. continue reading from the following press release: It standardizes the certification, accreditation and reputation process, which potentially can be used universally across ISPs and MTAs (to date AOL, Yahoo, Port25 and Strongmail are on board as well as a handful of ESPs).So there you have it. The extortion is beginning. This is why we are so focused on portal marketing. This is why we have refocused on delivering a mailing solution that keeps the concept of free exchange alive on the Internet.
Here is the low down on what is actually happening from the CEO of Veretekk Tom Prendergast. Veretekk is one of the system's I use in our business online. He has gotten to the bottom of what is really happening.. I saw an article in our local Sunday newspaper about Yahoo and AOL starting to charge a quarter cent for email delivery then I discovered this article...
I am the CEO of Inetekk.com, Inc. I run a large subscription system called Veretekk. We have over 25,000 subscribers and for years we have recommended that our subscribers use Yahoo as a forwarding email account for their incoming email verifications, and correspondence. We did this instead of offering everyone POP or web accounts for ease and economy.
Until four months ago every one of our subscribers were receiving all their email within seconds. Then the customer support issues started to spike around October 2005. Our subscribers were upset. They claimed our system wasn't sending email to their accounts, or our email was arriving in hours instead of seconds. Or the next day. Or not at all. It was sporadic and it made us look like our email system was unreliable.
I called Yahoo to ask if they had blacklisted our servers. They said no, there is not an issue. I started thinking we had server issues. So I started testing everyones account with my own separate mail server called wavefour.com.
I have been on the Internet since the first days all the way back to 1991. Our Inetekk system for Veretekk has hundreds of servers located in San Jose, CA. My wavefour mail server is hosted with communitech in Florida and has no filters on it what so ever. Every time I would set up a special testing wavefour pop account for one of my subscribers, they would call back and say, wow, I am now getting all my email in less than a second.
The complaints from our subscribers was escalating. Curiously we started getting the same complaints from our AOL subscribers. All of a sudden they had the same issues with mail delivery. I started handing out wavefour pop accounts like crazy and got the same response. Wow, I am now getting all my email within seconds. So I called AOL and they said the same thing we weren't blocked.
About a month ago I heard that Yahoo and AOL had started using gray listing. This is something real small ISPs use, but the big guys don't. All my colleges were wondering hwat in the world would big mail services like Yahoo would be doing that for.
Gray listing blocks or defers ISPs that are detected sending large volumes of email. And we definitely fit that category.
Well.....we all now know why these two obnoxious giants were doing this for the last four months. The did this to raise support issues with our clients in hopes of raising our frustration levels to a point were we would just roll over and pay Yahoo and AOL for the privilege of sending email to our clients using their services.
Think again AOL and Yahoo. Our clients are dropping their accounts with you left and right. Soon someone is going to offer real email pop accounts for free. I say it is about time. AOL and Yahoo are symptomatic of large monopolistic disconnected greedy corporations that have forgotten that it is the customer that pays their bills.

Cindy's note: So what does this mean to you and me the little guy using the net to communicate? It means eventually if you have an email account with yahoo or AOL the email you see won't be nessarily what you want to see... Most of it will be coming from bulk mailers and spamers that are willing to pay to have your mail delivered, but the mail you want to get may be filtered out. I feel they plan to deliver the mail that someone pays them to deliver first. Guess what... the spamers will pay, because they are making money doing it otherwise they wouldn't keep doing it.
The spamers take advantage of the newbies to the net that read all of that junk that gets past the spam filters. Personally I'm to the point that I just want all the mail not just what some ISP or email company decides I should get. Gosh, I thought I left politics when I left my last JOB!
Inetekk builds innovative technology to empower the individual to help them succeed in the competitive market of MLM. Inetekk's system, Veretekk, does this ethically and effectively, without, spam, or the buying and selling of leads.
SAN DIEGO, CA, February 11, 2006 - Inetekk.com, Inc. CEO Thomas Prendergast (founder of the Veretekk Automated Marketing System TM) along with Mike Darling (President and co-founder, Inetekk.com) reflect the many accomplishments Inetekk.com, Inc.'s Veretekk system has achieved over the past 10 years. "Mike and I would like to thank all of those that have been part of this great undertaking as we turn 10 years old this month", stated company co-founder, Thomas Prendergast.
"We have accomplished much these last 10 years. The fact that Inetekk is still around, healthy, growing and debt free is an accomplishment itself", said co-founder, Mike Darling. "Looking back over the last 10 years, some of the major accomplishments exclusive to Inetekk technology have been; Veremail, the first closed loop double op-tin system with third party validation. Traffic Portal methodology, a portfolio of self-replicating, unique domain, viral, valuable, lead capture sites, like http://veretekk.etracking.net/barefoot" title="http://veretekk.etracking.net/barefoot" target="_blank"http://veretekk.etracking.net..., the world's first self replicating search engine. Self replicating, personalized, pdf documents and pdf ebooks, responsible verified bulk mailing systems, 24/7 live training and support are just a few of the benefits of Veretekk's massive arsenal, that we have developed for the online marketers over the years. But more important than anything else, is all of these mechanisms build exclusive business contacts for our subscribers. It is this single feature that set's Veretekk apart from the rest of the industry. Privacy is our most important asset next to the success of our subscribers."
Veretekk champions the little guy. Veretekk doesn't just fight spam, and scams, Veretekk delivers ethical alternatives. We boldly hold the position that the buying and selling of leads is obnoxious, unethical and is the toxic byproduct of the Information Revolution.
The toxic symptoms of this are: Spam. Unsolicited Faxes. Telemarketers.
But before you can eliminate the disease we needed an alternative, and Inetekk has lead the way. We support the anti spam movement, not abhor it. You cannot stop a man from stealing food for his family, until you teach that man that stealing is wrong and how to earn his food ethically.
Mr. Darling added, "I have seen too much devastation in this industry and watched as people are lied to and so many lives eventually ruined by the lies! Does Ford Motors, Volvo, McDonalds, etc. conduct themselves this way? No! They built brand recognition through responsible marketing and advertising. In the United States when you think of clothes detergent brands, the name TIDE often comes to mind. But TIDE did not fax you, spam you or telemarket you into this state of mind. TIDE built brand recognition through responsible marketing and advertising. It took a huge investment of time and money to do it, but do it they did."
"Before the Internet, to build that type of brand recognition it took huge expensive TV and radio advertisements," added Prendergast. "Through the Internet we have built Veretekk to be the mechanism that the little guy can use to build a moderately sized sphere of influence in a responsible and ethical way."
Prendergast continued, "Spamming, faxing, and telemarketing does not build recognition. It builds hostility. The Information Revolution is a two edged sword. It can beat your door down, destroy your privacy, and enslave you, or it can empower the individual and produce a decentralized culture similar to the agrarian culture before the Industrial Revolution. It is the Industrial Revolution that produced the soaring divorce rate, crowded cities, corruption, and rising crime rates."
Mike Darling added, "I see the Information Revolution as a new opportunity to reverse this trend, heal families, restore civility, and decentralize cities to bring sanity back to our cultures. However, the biggest threat to this is greed. Greed can be reversed when the culture understands that by looking out for others and empowering them as our highest priority, it serves us all better and we will all prosper. Veretekk is built upon this principle." ------------------------- ------------------------- -------------------- For more information about Veretekk or to sign up for our free service go to http://barefoot.veretekk.com" title="http://barefoot.veretekk.com" target="_blank"http://barefoot.veretekk.com Inetekk.com, Inc. 7115 Calabria Ct. #D San Diego, CA 92122 858-625-8373

Gary Burke received the following message from Katie Billi who is a very good friend of his from another group.
Katie is as busy as anyone Gary know's with her children, etc.
His comments will be in blue.
Hi Gary,
Just got another email today from a gal in Oregon wanting to do the 30 days of Shaklee and wanting to know about the business because she's looking for a stay at home job. I really am amazed with the responses I am getting just from simply doing a monthly mailing. This is my first unusual thing, to actually get the mailing out each month. The monthly mailings! Faye has been encouraging the sales leaders in our group for years and years to do a simple monthly mailing. COMMUNICATION, staying in touch, being consistent makes a difference over the long haul.
I keep asking myself what I can do that would be unusual. With as little activity as I've done it doesn't take much to do something unusual. It might be a call that I have just been putting off forever or a note of thanks to a user, etc. Of course once I do that very much it's not unusual and I have to find something else but it's a great way to take little steps and be moving forward, and of course the steps get bigger without realizing it. These are interesting comments as Katie has bought into the idea of doing SOMETHING UNUSUAL. What can you do today that you have been thinking about for a while? That would be doing THE UNUSUAL.
I also got our 1099 and was amazed again about the beauty of this business. It was $40,634...I don't know of any other Mom around heremaking that much money with the hours ( or should I say minutes) I work. I look at the teachers and the aides and most of them probably don't even make that much. Anyway, it always inspires me to share the opportunity with others, it is soooo wonderful! Katie is very part time in Shaklee but yet she earned in excess of $40,000. How? Why? Being consistent with the time she has and doing the little things. Shaklee is UNUSUAL
Hope you are enjoying the sunshine. Have a Great Day!
This is such a cool presentation that really tells most of the Barefoot Secret story in 20 minutes... take a look at: www.theglobalsuccessteam.com when you click on the words "WELLNESS REVOLUTION" Be ready for a great flash Presentation!!!
Not only is it the video based on Paul Zane Pilser's analysis that the wellness revolution. It's followed by the video on the ESSENTIALS, with all the integrity and science behind our products....with our guarantee...with a nudge toward autoship. And then there are healthy "commercials" sprinkled throughout about our products and benefits. Some are the catchy clever thoughts--words on black--we saw in the 1/7 DVD. But then there are new ones too. Dr. Shaklee speaks in one and there's a spot on Memory Optimizer. You see the Minerelles video and a sports nutrition interview and an environmentalist interview.
All I can say is WOW! You can send people to this lively overview with an email, with a phone call, with a postcard. Or you can go and watch it together, with you on you computer and they on theirs and you on the phone together. All through the video is a flash that says "Be sure you get back to the person who sent you to this website." AND IT ALL TAKES LESS THAN 20 MINUTES! Thanks so much to the Global Success Team!
