 * I’m running the basic WP 2015 them, with some changes via a child theme, but 
   I suspect the issue is something else.
 * This is a blog for our astronomy club, and I don’t want “new subscribers” or 
   any comments. All I’m trying to do is enter the email addresses of all our club
   members manually (to make it easier for them), and then have any new post generate
   an email with an active link to the blog that will take them directly to our 
   electronic newsletter.
 * Here’s the URL: [http://dfacaz.org/2015/10/02/october-dfac-update/](http://dfacaz.org/2015/10/02/october-dfac-update/)
 * It seems like some members get the emails but others don’t. I can’t manually 
   add them on the Subscribe2 Subscribers page, since it tells me they are already
   on the Registered Subscribers page. I must be missing something obvious here.
   A solution will definitely warrant a PayPal donation. I’ve spent hours trying
   to figure this out. Thanks!

 * There are 2 different types of subscriber in Subscribe2; Registered and Public–
   it’s explained more here:
 * [https://subscribe2.wordpress.com/support/faqs/#16](https://subscribe2.wordpress.com/support/faqs/#16)
 * You are seeing the above because you are trying to add an existing Registered
   Users as a Public Subscriber.
 * To resolve this you need to either remove the Registered accounts and only have
   Public Subscribers or you need to Bulk Subscriber the Registered account holders
   using the Bulk Management section at the bottom of the Subscriber2->Subscribers
   page under the Registered Subscribers tab.

 * Thanks. I missed that option. Didn’t scroll down far enough on the page. So I
   ran that “bulk subscription” option and sent a test post. Waiting to hear back
   from the club members on whether it worked. Will post results here as soon as
   I’m sure they all received that automated post notification.

 * OK, I’m back to report on the results of your suggestions. All but two members
   are now receiving automated post notifications. They are both using Earthlink
   for their emails. None of the other members are.
 * Even after adding the email address associated with SUBSCRIBE2 (which has the
   same domain) to their contact list (white list) they still are not receiving 
   the emails. They aren’t finding them in their spam folders. And I’m not getting
   any bounce-backs.
 * Talked to both Earthlink and GoDaddy (who hosts the blog) and they are clueless.
   Running outa things to try here.
 * FYI: The email template is simple HTML with a single hyperlink to the new post
   included. Any ideas?
