Why White-list?
|
"Spam," or unsolicited and unwanted advertising email, is so widespread that most email services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) now have blocking or filtering systems or blacklists to determine which email senders are distributing spam. The problem with the methods mentioned above is that they often block email you actually want when it looks like spam. Anti-spam providers are trying to reduce "false positives," but there is still a risk you won't get the messages you have subscribed to. However, there's another solution, and it only requires a little work on your part: You can "white-list" your new subscriptions when you get sign up. This way, you should get all of the mail you want, right from the beginning. |

Gmail
If Google's Gmail is your email provider, make sure our messages are delivered to your inbox by either adding the sending address to your Contacts list or by marking any incorrectly filed email as "Not Spam." Here's how:
- Open the email you wish to white-list.
- Click the "More Options" link on the title line of the email (it's on the right, next to the date). (If "Hide Options" is shown, you can skip this step.)
- When you see the extra options just below the subject line, click "Add sender to contacts list."
Or, simply send an email to BookingBuddy@lists.bookingbuddy.co.uk, which will add the address to your Contacts list automatically.
It's possible that the email you send won't get through, but just by sending it, our address becomes a part of your Contacts list. This can prevent future emails of ours from being sent into the spam folder, even if some have been filtered there already:
- Click on the "Spam" link to access your Spam folder.
- Click on the email that was incorrectly filtered to open it.
- Click "Not Spam" at the top of the email.
AOL
For AOL Webmail:
- Click "Settings" on the top right of the screen.
- Click on "Spam Controls" on the left.

- Select "Custom."
- Check "Allow Mail From."
- Type BookingBuddy@lists.bookingbuddy.co.uk into the text box that appears.
- Click on the "Plus" button next to the email text box.
For AOL version 9.0: So that important email gets delivered to your inbox, add the sender's address to your "People I Know" list.
