How To Whitelist The Indie Contact Newsletter
in your Spam Filter
If you currently use an anti-spam program or service, I ask that you
take just a minute or two to add my newsletter to your "safe" or permitted
email sender list. This will usually involve simply adding the address
indiecontactnewsletter@rogers.com to your whitelist, safelist, or list of privilege senders.
This is commonly known as whitelisting a publication.
Please refer to the following whitelisting instructions you can use to
whitelist The Indie Contact Newsletter, depending on the filtering solution you use:
|
AOL
Go to keyword: Mail Controls.
Select the screen name we're sending your indiecontactnewsletter@rogers.com to.
Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.
Version 9.0:
Open your latest The Indie Contact Newsletter e-mail.
Click the Add Address button (on the right) to add to your "People I Know" list.
Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to: indiecontactnewsletter@rogers.com, and that
will add us to your "People I Know" list automatically.
To do this:
Open your latest The Indie Contact Newsletter e-mail.
Click the Reply button (it's in the top right corner).
A new email window opens with the wrong address in the "Send To" box.
Replace the address in the Send To box with: indiecontactnewsletter@rogers.com
Click Send Now (in the top right corner).
Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get through to us, the act of sending it does
the job of putting us into your "People I Know" list.
