Whitelisting Instructions For Designer Gifts And Embroidery

How To Whitelist Your Email for Designer Gifts & Embroidery

 

Thank you for subscribing to Designer Gifts and Embroidery. Many e-mail and Internet companies are now using programs to block unwanted e-mail, often called spam. Sometimes, however, these programs block e-mail you want to get.

To Ensure You Are Receiving Your Designer Gifts and Embroidery emails, Do The Following:
Be sure to add the corresponding Designer Gifts and Embroidery email addresses to your email white list to ensure the best chance of receiving our content and updates.

A whitelist is a list of accepted items or person in a set….a list of e-mail addresses or domain names from which an e-mail blocking program will allow messages to be received.

Why is this important?
Unsolicited, unwanted advertising e-mail, commonly known as “spam,” has become a big problem. It’s reached such proportions that most e-mail services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put some sort of blocking or filtering system in place or begun relying on self-proclaimed blacklists to tell the food guys from the bad.

Designer Gifts and Embroidery applauds their intention to protect you from spam, but everyone agrees that the current systems for stopping spam are far from a perfect solution. They often block e-mail that you’ve requested, but that fits somebody’s idea of what spam looks like. The more responsible anti-spam activists are working hard to cut down on these “false positives,” but in the meantime, you might unexpectedly find you’re not getting your subscriptions content.

As it happens, there’s something you can do to keep your subscriptions content from falling into the false positive trap. You can fight the blacklists with a “white-list.”

White-list us now, before your delivery is interrupted
Of course, 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 folks for their instructions. (Forward the answer to us, and we might add it!) If you are 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 subscription from some of the more popular of those programs.
