Many e-mail and Internet companies are now using programs to block unwanted e-mail, often called spam. Sometimes, however, these programs block e-mail you want to get.
To Ensure You Are Receiving My Emails Do The Following:
Be sure to add my email addresses to your email white list to ensure the best chance of receiving my content and updates
A whitelist is a list of accepted items or persons in a set…. a list of e-mail addresses or domain names from which an e-mail blocking program will allow messages to be received.
Why is this important?
SPAM is a big problem. To reduce the impact, most e-mail services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put some sort of blocking or filtering system in place or begun relying on self-proclaimed blacklists to tell the good guys from the bad.
I applaud their efforts to protect you (and me) from spam, but these current systems for stopping spam are far from perfect. They often block e-mail that you’ve requested, but that fits somebody’s idea of what spam looks like. Therefore, you might unexpectedly find you’re not getting your subscription’s content…
(Yes, this is why we so often here “it was caught in my SPAM filter)
As it happens, there’s something you can do to keep your subscription’s content from being tagged as SPAM. You can fight the blacklists with a “white-list”.
White-list us now, before your delivery is interrupted.
While I cannot cover every email system, below are instructions for whitelisting on the popular email readers. If yours isn’t here, please contact your ISP’s customer service folks for their instructions. If you’re using some sort of spam filtering or blocking software yourself (in addition to what your ISP provides), we’ve also listed instructions on how to exempt your subscription from some of the more popular of those programs.
