If you're sending e-mail to Sled Dog Central, please read this...

Please be sure to include an appropriate Subject line in your messages to SDC.
E-mails with "Hi" and other non-descriptive subjects are assumed to be junk mail or viruses.  If there is nothing in the subject line, the mail will automatically be deleted.

Any mail that appears the least bit suspicious--that is, without a subject line or with a subject that doesn't specifically refer to SDC or a dog topic, without a return address, unusually large size--is deleted without opening.

You can prevent accidental deletion of your message by including a relevant subject and making sure the email includes your return address. If you have not received a response to email within two or three days, consider re-sending with a more complete subject line.

If you receive a virus infected or spam e-mail purporting to be from Sled Dog Central, please read this...

Most of the current viruses "spoof" the senders address.  All that is necessary for the mail to look like it came from Sled Dog Central is for the infected computer to have our address in their email address book.

Nothing is impossible, but we run an AntiVirus 24/7 and our protection files are updated immediately upon release. As an additional precaution all of our outgoing email is scanned by our AntiVirus program before it is sent.

Thanks, Judy Bergemann
