Miscellaneous
Why don't I receive Tmahotels.com emails?
This is because of spam filters in most cases.
If you are using a third party spam filtering application like Spam Guard, you will not be able to receive the emails until you manually add the sender's email address and / or the domain name to your list of accepted email addresses.
If you are NOT using a Spam Guard program and do not receive the email, it is because spam filters are enabled on your email account internally. Many companies do this "behind the scenes" so you may not even be aware of the fact that some of your emails are being filtered or even deleted! Internet Service Providers (ISPs) boast that they can eliminate unwanted mail from your inbox. Unfortunately, they also eliminate much *wanted* messages as well.
You will need to adjust your spam filters so that you can receive the emails. Following are instructions for a few of the different mail service providers out there. If your company is not listed below, please contact your ISP directly or consult their help files for instructions on how to adjust the mail filters on your account.
We're sorry for the inconvenience.
