That's why some of you got yesterday's email quite late. Apparently, someone complained to Amazon that my emails were spam. They investigated and determined that a third party was using one of my forms to send their emails. Based on that, they suspended my access to the SES service, which sends all these emails. I checked everything I could, reported back to them and asked for a copy of a supposed spam email. It happened to be the one I sent last Tuesday. After I told them that, they began to back down but suggested that I change the access code for Sendy, which I did. The account is now re-instated, and all is good with the world of my emails. Now, I'm not bitching about Amazon. They are doing their job protecting their service for them and all the other users, including me. Kudos also for the speed with which we managed to resolve the problem. Under 24 hours is pretty good service when we are not in the same timezone, although we might be. Regardless, this is exactly what I talked about in an email several days ago. Your accounts are always vulnerable to attack or shut down at any moment, so you must have your own traffic source and a way to contact your audience that you control.
You are probably aware that I rate his products and training very highly. This one is no exception. When you read through the sales page, you'll get a much better understanding of why so many others get this wrong and don't manage to get an email list that responds.
