How To Whitelist OpEd News in your Spam Filter



Please realize that we want our readers to always anticipate and enjoy the valuable articles that OpEd News delivers.

If you currently use an anti-spam program or service, we ask that you take just a minute or two to add OpEd News to your "safe" or permitted email sender list. This usually involves simply adding our sending address (opednews.com) to your whitelist, safelist, or list of priviledged senders. This is commonly known as whitelisting.

Please refer to the following whitelisting instructions you can use to whitelist OpEd News, depending on the filtering solution you use:

The very first thing to do is add opednews.com to your Address Book or Contact list.

AOL

Go to keyword: Mail Controls. Select the screen name we're sending your OpEd News to. Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.

Version 9.0:

Open your latest OpEd News 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: opednews.com, and that will add us to your "People I Know" list automatically. To do this:

Open your latest OpEd News 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: opednews.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.
