I have not received a confirmation e-mail.

Check our list below if you do not already know how to remedy the issue with spam, bulk, or junk mail folders.

ISPs
Some email providers filter messages based on content, subject line, or the sender's address and may put your email into the a bulk or junk mail folder. Please make sure @digitalriver.com is on your "approved sender" list or "whitelist" and/or in your "address book." Occasionally an ISP will institute mail controls that block your email completely without your knowledge. We often do not even receive notice of such a block.
