Email Whitelisting

Many email and Internet companies are now using programs to block unwanted email, often called spam. Sometimes, however, these programs block the email you want to get. Learn why whitelisting email is important and how to do it below.

Do the following to ensure you receive our emails:

Be sure to add the corresponding Heritage Home Ec 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 email addresses or domain names from which an email blocking program will allow messages to be received.

Our emails will always come from “amy@heritagehomeec.com” or “admin@heritagehomeec.com“.

Why whitelisting email is important?

Unsolicited, unwanted advertising email, commonly known as “spam”, has become a big problem. It’s reached such proportions that most email 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.

While we applaud their intention to protect you from spam, unfortunately, the current systems for stopping spam are far from a perfect solution. They often block email that you’ve requested, but that fits somebody’s idea of what spam looks like. Thus, from time to 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”.

Whitelisting email from us now, before your delivery is interrupted.

Of course, 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. (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 programs.

Gmail:

  1. In your inbox, locate an email from Amy Cover (ex. the welcome email that led you to this page).
  2. Drag this email to the “primary” tab of your inbox.
  3. You’ll see that our emails will go to your primary folder in the future!

Yahoo! Mail

  1. When opening an email message, a “+” symbol should display next to From: and the sender’s name.
  2. Select this and an “Add to contacts” pop-up should appear.
  3. Select “Save”:

Outlook 2003 & Later

  1. Right-click on the message in your inbox.
  2. Select “Junk E-mail” from the menu.
  3. Click “Add Sender to Safe Senders List.”
