Huh? – What Happened to Email?
With the increase in outrageous volumes of unwanted email these days, many email and filtering companies have jumped in to try to resolve this issue. However, the "pendulum" has often swung too far the other way in this effort, resulting in "over-filtering" and blocking out many of the legitimate email, as well. This in turn, has been detrimental for (1) readers, not receiving messages they requested, for (2) businesses losing revenue over time, and (3) negatively affecting the economy, as well.
Currently, the BEST Solution is for Subscribers to “Whitelist” the Email Addresses of senders that they want to receive emails from.
'Whitelisting an Email Address' just means Adding a Sender's Email Address to your Email Program's List of 'Approved Senders,' to assure Delivery of their messages to you. Don't worry — We have Quick and Easy Instructions, below — it takes just minutes to complete.
If you currently use an anti-spam program or service, we ask that you take just a minute or two to add our publication to your "Safe" or "Approved Senders" email list. This would usually involve simply adding our sending address to your "Whitelist, Safelist, Address Book, Contacts List, or List of Priviledged Senders" (titles vary with each email program). This is commonly known as "Whitelisting a Publication." Then Spam Filters should allow all emails from those Whitelisted Addresses to pass thru into your Inbox.
