Whitelist email addresses from senders to prevent their messages ending up in your spam folder
You can ensure that emails you want to receive reach your Inbox, and not your junk or spam folder, by adding their addresses to your safe senders list – this is also called “whitelisting”.
Your email provider has their own instructions for adding email address to a whitelist – you can see a summary of instructions below for common providers. Information from other providers can be found by visiting their websites or by phoning their technical help desks.
The problem of genuine messages being blocked or treated as spam will probably get worse as Internet Service Providers are forced to strengthen their security systems to protect their customers from the increasing sophistication of spammers. Newsletters are particularly vulnerable because they contain numerous images and links, which security filters may classify as spam.
NZCPR newsletters
If the NZCPR’s weekly newsletter fails to arrive in your computer’s Inbox, you will need to whitelist the NZCPR’s newsletter mailing list address: newsletter-bounces@nzcpr.com
If the newsletter is going into your spam folder, you may be able to right click on it and indicate that it’s not spam.
If it’s not in your spam folder, it will have been blocked by your Internet Service Provider in your webmail account, which is on their server. In this case, you may need your ISP’s help to locate the newsletter so you can “whitelist” it to ensure that you will receive it in the future.
Please note that if you are not receiving our newsletters and don’t sort this problem out, you are unlikely to ever receive them.
If you are finding that whitelisting our newsletter address is proving difficult, then you should not hesitate in calling your ISP’s help desk to ask their technical team to assist you. What you need to tell them is that you would like their help in whitelisting the NZCPR’s newsletter mailing address – newsletter-bounces@nzcpr.com – so you can be sure of safely receiving the newsletter in your Inbox each week.
Please don’t forget that if you are having difficulty receiving the newsletters, they are also posted on the www.nzcpr.com website each week, so you can still keep up with what’s going on while the delivery problem is being resolved.
I hope this message clarifies the situation for you – and good luck with sorting it out.
