Sample Whitelisting Instructions
To increase your chances of getting your ezine or marketing emails past spam filters, it’s a good idea to ask your subscribers to “whitelist” your address with their email provider or spam filter. But many of your subscribers won’t know how to do this. Here are instructions for how to whitelist a specific sender with 24 different email providers and filters.
These instructions were written for the GET CLIENTS NOW! E-Letter, which is delivered by the 1ShoppingCart.com mailing list management system. To customize these instructions, you’ll need to change the publication name, originating email address and domain, and IP address to match those used by your delivery system.
You may wish to post instructions like these on your website, so you can refer subscribers to them when suggesting that they whitelist you.
