Whitelisting instructions

Thank you for subscribing to my newsletter.

Many email and internet companies are now using programs to block unwanted email, or spam. Sometimes, however, these programs block email you actually DO want to receive.

To ensure you are receiving my emails, do the following:

Add my email address to your email whitelist to ensure the best chance of receiving my content.

A whitelist is a list of email addresses or domain names you want to receive and an email blocking program will allow through to your inbox.

How to whitelist me.

Every email 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 folks for their instructions. If you’re using some sort of spam filtering or blocking software yourself (in addition to what your ISP provides), I’ve also listed instructions on how to exempt your subscription from some of the more popular of those programs.

Gmail:

1. In your inbox, locate an email from support@leighrobshaw.net.
2. Drag this email to the “primary” tab of your inbox.

3. You’ll see that my emails will go to your primary folder in the future.
