America On Line (AOL) actively blocks spam email for their users.  Unfortunately this approach also tends to block emails that your clients want to receive.

 

If your clients use AOL mail, they may not be getting your emails.

 

If clients mark your MRMLS Matrix Emails or Auto-Emails as junk or spam, AOL receives that as a complaint.  If AOL receives enough complaints they block the entire system.

 

The MRMLS Matrix Email and Auto Email function was created for agents and brokers to communicate directly with clients.  The MRMLS Matrix Email and Auto Email function is a communication system, and should not be used as a marketing system.

CDOM only stops counting when a property moves to an off-market status, such as Closed Sale, Canceled, Expired, on Hold, Leased, Pending, or Withdrawn. If a property is off the market for more than 60 days, the CDOM counter is reset to zero, unless it returns to an on-market status from Pending, Hold, or Withdrawn, in which case it resumes counting where it left off.
