Whitelist Instructions

Thank You!

One More Thing…

Thanks for signing up. Make sure you check your email for our special email message to you. You might also check your bulk or junk mail just in case it mistakenly went there.

Everyone on Our Team is committed to running an ethical and honest website. We hate spam us much as you do. It is our policy not to send you… or anyone else… anything until you say we can.

As part of our process, we have sent you a “confirmation/thank you” email.

Please:

1. Go to your email box and check your email now for an email from us (be sure to check your bulk or junk mail…sometimes it goes there even though it is NOT bulk or junk).

2. Add us to your “Whitelist” or address book to ensure you receive exactly what you asked for.

A “Whitelist” is a list of email addresses that you have marked that it’s “ok” to receive emails from. Every email provider (AOL, GMail, Yahoo, & all the rest) has different ways to add a particular person or company to your “Whitelist,” but they all do.

To make it quick and easy for you to ensure you receive exactly what you asked for, and so that our emails don’t mistakenly get identified as junk or spam, we’ve included a list of popular email and spam filtering tools.

Just find your email service provider or your spam filter below, click on its link and just like magic you’ll be taken to step-by-step instructions on how to add us to your “Whitelist” or address book to ensure you receive exactly what you asked for.

Email Tools: AOL, Earthlink, Gmail, Hotmail, MSN, Outlook 2003, Verizon Mail, Yahoo! Mail

Other Mail Tools

Many popular e-mail programs, including older versions of Outlook, Outlook Express, Thurderbird, Eudora, and Netscape Mail, do not provide a convenient way for you to whitelist the email addresses you want to receive. If you’re using this sort of e-mail system and you either aren’t getting e-mail you value or want to make sure you continue to receive it in the future, you can do something about it.

Contact the customer service people or the postmaster at the company that provides your e-mail or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them what subscriptions are e-mail that you asked for (or paid for) and want to receive. Ask them if they will whitelist the sender.

So please go to your email now, find our email, and add us to your “Whitelist.” Otherwise, we may have trouble delivering what you asked for.

If the “confirmation/thank you” email does not arrive in 5 mins, please check your junk folder or contact us at clientcare @ sendmesolutions.com

And if you accidentally entered a wrong email address, you can close this window and give us your right address!
