Whitelist Us

 
 

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.

We at CallCreditRX applaud 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 CallCreditRX Emails and Publications every day…

As it happens, there’s something you can do to keep your CallCreditRX Emails and Publications 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 CallCreditRX Emails and Publications from some of the more popular of those programs.

To find instructions for your e-mail provider or software, scroll down.

One thing you can do no matter what e-mail system you’re using is add the address in the "From" line of your most recent CallCreditRX Emails and Publications to your address book.

Click the link(s) below to find step-by-step instructions for address book/contact list additions for some larger email service providers and spam filters you might be using.

You can prevent an email message from being incorrectly moved to the Spam Mail folder within the Anti-Spam Toolbar.

To prevent this from occurring you can do either of the following:

  • Add us to the list of Approved Senders
  • Decrease the Spam Email Filter Strength

Note: You can also select our email and click Not Spam to report it to Trend Micro. However, this feature serves only as a reference when they develop their spam database, and it may not have an effect on how the toolbar detects spam.

  2. Click the Spam Mail folder then select the legitimate email detected as spam.
