some news from Fear the Boot
by Dan Repperger

I realize this blog has been quiet for a while, which is something we’ll be fixing this week.  We have several articles ready to go, which I’ll release starting tomorrow.  I was going to start that today, but I want to pass along two news items that just came up…

First, being a software developer, I didn’t know a whole lot about configuring an email server. I just learned all about DomainKeys, DKIM, SPF, and all kinds of other junk.  For those not following, the punchline is that our Fear the Boot emails should no longer be treated as spam or (in some cases) outright blocked by your mail provider. I’ve successfully sent registration emails to both Gmail and Yahoo, and they appeared right in the inbox.

If you’ve registered for the forum and never received your confirmation email — and followed up with Chad and never gotten a reply from him either — please follow-up with us one more time.  Our spam issue should finally be resolved, and messages from our domain should start going where they belong.

Second, Jeramy Ware is up for reelection as an ENnies judge.  He’s been an outstanding voice of reason within that organization and a real champion for gaming podcasts.  I hope you’ll go out and give this guy your support.  He’s not affiliated with Fear the Boot — nor have we submitted anything for consideration this year or currently plan to next year — so this isn’t some form of self-promotion.  I just feel that keeping this guy in the mix is a real boon for gamers and podcasters alike.
