How to White-List Us Here is how to Whitelist our e-mail services to prevent unwanted spam blocking! Unwanted, unsolicited, advertising e-mail, commonly called 'spam', has become a huge problem. It's reached such staggering numbers that most e-mail services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have resorted to putting some sort of blocking or filtering system in place or have begun relying on self-proclaimed blacklists to tell the good guys from the bad. We acknowledge their intention to protect us from spam, but everyone agrees that the current systems for stopping spam are not even close to a perfect solution. They all too often block important e-mails that you've requested, but fit somebody's idea of what spam looks like. The more responsible anti-spam companies and activists are working hard to cut down on these 'false positives', but in the mean time, you might surprisingly find you're not getting the e-mails you subscribed to... As it happens, there's something you can do to keep the e-mails you value from being marked as a false positive trap. You can fight the blacklists with a 'white-list'. White-list every new subscription right at the start, before your delivery is interrupted. One thing you can do on any e-mail system you're using is to add the address in the "From" line of the desired e-Letter to your address book. For our website, this address is Support@HamzeiAnalytics.com Every e-mail system is different. Below are instructions for some of the more popular ones. If yours isn't here, please contact your ISP's customer service department 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 valued e-mails from some of the more popular of those programs.
