E-MAIL WHITELISTING
Thank you for subscribing to Abigail Rebecca.
Many e-mail and Internet companies are now using programs to block unwanted e-mail, often called spam. Sometimes, however, these programmes block e-mail you want to get.
To Ensure You Are Receiving Your Abigail Rebecca Emails Do The Following:
Be sure to add the corresponding Abigail Rebecca email addresses to your email whitelist to ensure the best chance of receiving our content and updates
A whitelist is a list of accepted items or persons 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 good guys from the bad. DigitalMarketer 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 mean time, you might unexpectedly find you’re not getting your subscription’s content… As it happens, there’s something you can do to keep your subscription’s 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’re 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 programmes.
How to Whitelist an Email in Gmail
Click the gear icon in Gmail and select "See all settings" from the Quick settings menu.
Navigate to "Filters and Blocked Addresses" in the top menu.
Select "Create a new filter."
Add a specific email or a whole domain in the "From" field.
Click "Create filter."
Check "Never send it to Spam" in the checkbox.
Click "Create filter."
1. Click the gear icon in Gmail and select "See all settings" from the Quick settings menu.
2. Navigate to "Filters and Blocked Addresses" in the top menu.
3. Select "Create a new filter."
In Gmail, whitelisting an email actually involves creating a filter.
4. Add a specific email or a whole domain in the "From" field.
The "From" field is where you'll specify what's getting whitelisted. In Gmail, you can specify either a specific email address (e.g. hello@domain.com), or you can whitelist a whole domain by omitting everything before the at symbol (e.g. @domain.com).
The former will whitelist one specific email address while the latter whitelists anyone who is sending emails from that domain.
5. Click "Create filter."
From there, you don't need to input any additional information. Simply click the Create filter button at the bottom of the window (next to the blue Search button).
6. Check "Never send it to Spam" in the checkbox.
Clicking the button brings up a new window. Here's where you'll actually specify that what you're doing is whitelisting. In Gmail, you do this by checking the Never send it to spam box.
Doing so will ensure that emails that meet the criteria you specified never end up in Spam or Trash (unless you do so manually).
7. Click "Create filter."
Once this information is specified, you click the "Create filter" button again, and this creates the whitelist within Gmail.

When you select it, a drop-down menu will appear. At the bottom of the drop-down menu, you'll choose View all Outlook settings.
2. Select "Mail" from the settings menu.
3. Choose "Junk email" from the submenu.
4. Click "Add" under "Safe senders and domains."
5. Enter the email address that you want whitelisted.
6. Choose "Save."
This will save your whitelist preferences and ensure that emails that fit the criteria don't make it to your junk email folder in Outlook.
