FAQs

Question:  Why am I not receiving emails from OMTA?

Click to Open Answer
Answer:  There are several reasons this may be so. Your email provide may be inadvertently directing emails from OMTA into Spam/Junk/Clutter folders for you. To counteract this, be sure to add office@oregonmta.org to your email contacts. Additionally, if you find an OMTA email in your Spam/Junk/Clutter folder, try selecting it and telling your email provider it is “Not Spam” or move it into your primary inbox. This can help train your email provider that you value these emails. It also may be possible, if you simply do not appear to be receiving member-wide emails from OMTA,  that your email provider or you inadvertently unsubscribed from the OMTA mailing list. If that is the case, please email office@oregonmta.org and ask them to confirm this. If confirmed, the office can have the system send you, via email, a resubscribe link that you may click to get placed back on the list. (Due to spam policies, once a subscriber has unsubscribed, we are not allowed to resubscribe them without their approval through this link.)
