If you have successfully submitted your posting and still have not received the email to publish your post, here are some things to consider:

• If you are using a free email account (like Hotmail and Yahoo), make sure you have not exceeded your mailbox storage limit, and check your bulk/junk/spam mail folder(s).

• Make sure you entered your email address correctly on the posting form - it only takes one typo!

• Some email providers and ISPs have implemented "spam filters" which we have found are often badly designed or misconfigured, sometimes resulting in craigslist emails being intercepted.

• Network problems between ISPs can delay email transmission, sometimes for many hours - consider stretching, getting some fresh air and checking back later. You can also have your self-publishing email(s) re-sent. If all else fails, try using a different email account provider.
