Hotmail users should be aware that the Inbox Protection settings for your Hotmail account can prevent you from receiving messages sent to lists. Inbox Protection will not allow a message to be delivered to your Inbox unless the message has your e-mail address in the To: or Cc: field. When you receive messages sent to a list, the list name will typically appear in the To: field of the
message. These messages will usually be placed in your Junk Mail folder.

To prevent this from happening, you should:

1. Click the Mail tab, then click Options

2. Click Junk E-mail Protection under Mail Options

3. Then click Mailing Lists

3. Enter the address of the list to which you have subscribed (ie, testlist@mercer.edu)

Once you have completed these steps, messages from the list should be placed in your Inbox.
