    Contest entry confirmation e-mails

    Not sure if there's a delay on these, or if they're just plain not showing up. I checked to see if there was a specific setting for it, but didn't see it, and all the usual check boxes are checked.

    My e-mail server settings are to push all e-mails through, with spam mails simply flagged and not segregated, unless I specifically set up a filter to block a sender, and I don't have anything from GOC on the blocked sender list.

    I filled out the contest forms this morning, and there is still no notification more than 12 hours later.

      I had the same thing. Got a confirmation for one contest but no the other. No Grizz, you can't enter 4 more times just to make sure. ((( I already asked if I could, and the answer was no. )))

        Fair enough.

        I'm pretty sure I hadn't entered either one until today. But if I win the shotgun, I'll trade you for a Versa Max, or a Mossberg 930. Or that 870 I sold you years ago, plus a little extra on your end to balance it out.

            I got my confirmation within an hour of entering.

              Took three days for the pistol contest entry to show up. Still nothing on the shotgun.

                so a common issue is that your filtering on your email excludes GOC.

                Since one showed up, the other issue maybe you entered your email incorrect

                  No exclusions on GOC. I have to manually set the filters.

                  I'm doubtful that I entered my e-mail wrong. Form data is always saved. Captchas are the bane of my existence.
