Q. Will you add my email address to the Council
News eMail List?
A. The Council News eMail List is an
opt-in service. This means that only you can add your
information
to our database.
This ensures the integrity of the service by preventing
unwanted/unsolicited and malicious subscriptions. Simply
submit the form located at the top of every page of our
web
site.
You
will receive
a
confirmation
email
shortly after submitting your information. You must respond
to this email in order to complete your subscription.
Instructions are included in the confirmation
email. You may
also
unsubscribe
at any time.
Visit our mailing
list options page for detailed instructions.
Q. I haven't unsubscribed from the Council News eMail
List but I am no longer receiving mail from the List
- why?
A. Have you changed your email address?
Are you using spam detection software? Do you use email
'challenges' or auto address update software? Do you
use an autoresponder when you are on vacation? Does
your
email
account have
a quota?
Have
you attempted
to respond to the List mailings?
The Council News eMail List is configured to detect
'bounced' emails. When the List receives an email from
anyone other than authorized administrators, it assumes
that the sending email account (your email address) is
not longer viable. The address
is automatically removed from the database.
- Be sure to manually approve the mailing list email
address (news@scoutscapecod.org) in your spam filter's
whitelist and address book management software. The
mailing list
can not respond to 'challenges' or auto address update
requests. If
you do not control your own spam filters, contact your
ISP and ask them to whitelist
our email address for you.
- Do not reply to the List mailings. The List is
not a person - no one will ever read your email.
If you would like to contact the Council Service Center,
send email to: capescouts@scoutscapecod.org.
- If you have changed your email address, you may update
your account information by visiting the mailing
list options page.
- If you use an autoresponder, adjust the settings
to accept subscription mailings.
- Check your email account quota. Delete old mail from
your server. Hotmail and Yahoo accounts are notorious
'over quota bouncers' - empty your spam and bulk mail
folders often.
- If you believe that you have been unsubscribed from
the List, simply submit the subscribe form again. If
your account is still active, you will receive a message
stating so.
Q. I have News that I want to share- how
do I submit it to the List?
A. News may only be submitted to the
List by an authorized contributor. All submissions must
receive approval from the
Council Executives before distributing to the List.
If you
have information that you would like to share with our
subscribers, contact the Council Service Center.
Q. I'm an Event Organizer - how do I
get my event information posted to the web site?
A. Please use our Event
Information Submission form. Information submitted
via email will not be posted. You will find detailed
information regarding submission deadlines
and
acceptable formats for supporting documents. All submissions
must
be approved by the Council Executives before posting.
Q. I'm a Training Event Organizer - how do I
get my event information posted to the web site?
A. Please use our Training
Event Information Submission form. Information
submitted via email will not be posted. You will
find detailed information regarding submission deadlines
and acceptable formats for supporting documents.
All submissions must be approved by the Council Executives
before posting.
Q. Would you exchange banners/links with me?
A. No. The Cape Cod & Islands Council
does not participate in banner or link exchanges. We
will provide links to web sites containing information
and resources deemed useful to our membership. In addition,
links will be given to Council unit web sites upon approval
- please visit our Unit
Web Sites page for submission information.
You can find information about becoming a web site sponsor
on our sponsors page.
Q. Will you host my Unit's web site?
A. National policy prohibits us from
granting access to our domain. However,
there are many places on the Internet that will host
your web
site
for
free or at a reduced rate. ScoutingPages.org offers
a 'banner free' service to qualifying units.
