Ensure That You Receive Your Healthy Happy Dogs Newsletter Every Time
(by whitelisting it as follows):

ISPs are increasingly using filtering systems to try and keep Spam out of customers' inboxes. This is a good thing, but the downside is that often, they accidentally filter the e-mail that you DO want to receive.

To make sure your messages from Healthy Happy Dogs are not deleted or filtered into a "junk" or "bulk" folder, please add the following domains to your list of trusted senders or to your address book or contact list (in your e-mail software) and to your ISP/mail service's whitelist...

@HealthyHappyDogs.com
@GetResponse.com

This should guarantee that you'll receive your Healthy Happy Dogs ezine, and free special report.

Sorry to be a pain, but because of the ever-increasing spam problem, overzealous software, ISPs, and mail services are likely to block just about any company's e-mail at any time, by accident.

How do you add these domains to the so-called "white list"? This varies from ISP/mail service to service.  Here's how to do it with the more common ones:

Hotmail and MSN: Place the above domains on what they call your Safe List. The "Safe List" can be accessed via the "Options" link, situated to the far right of the main menu tabs.

AOL: Place the above domains in your Address Book. Check AOL help for details, if necessary.

Different versions of AOL have different features. For example in version 7.0, go to Keyword Mail Controls -- after you select your screen name and left-click on "Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name," enter the above domains in the section "exclusion and inclusion parameters."

For AOL version 8.0, select "Allow email from all AOL members, email addresses and domains." Then left-click on "Next" until the Save button shows up at the bottom. Left click on "Save."

Yahoo: If your Healthy Happy Dogs ezine is filtered to your 'Bulk Mail' folder, open the message and click on the "this is not Spam" link next to the "From" field.

You can also create a "filter" at Yahoo that sends your Healthy Happy Dogs ezine into your Inbox and not the Junk/Bulk Mail folder. Here's how...

1) Open your Yahoo e-mail. Left-click on "Mail Options" (right side of your screen). In the right hand column, under "Management," left-click on "Filters." And then, left-click on "Add Filter."

2) Call this filter "HealthyHappyDogsEzine"

3) See where it says... "if all of the following rules are true ..."? Go to the top row labeled "From header" choose "contains" in the drop-down menu and type in: @HealthyHappyDogs.com

4) At the bottom, choose "Inbox" from the drop-down menu where it says "Move the message to:"

5) Finally, left-click on the "Add Filter" button.

6) Repeat the process to add the second above domain: @GetResponse.com

E-mail software (e.g., Outlook, Eudora, etc.): Most software has both a whitelisting feature and the ability to create a filter to accept and file incoming e-mail. Filters are easy to create - you just create one that files incoming e-mail which has an address that CONTAINS "@" one of the above domains and file it in a folder you have created for this purpose.

Other ISPs/mail services: Each mail service is a little different, but the idea is the same. And if you are using the mail service provided by your own local ISP, they will have their own whitelisting procedures. If you can't find how to add the above domains to a whitelist, try moving the message from the Junk folder to your 'Inbox' or forwarding the message to yourself (if you're getting it at all, that is).

Spam filter software/services: If your e-mail software has its own built-in spam filter or if you are using a third-party spam filter, you will have to indicate to the filtering software to accept the above domains. You may need to search a filter's Help Files for how to do this - but the basic concept is the same. You will either add the above domains to some kind of a white list (or a "good list" or similar name) or click to indicate that mail filtered into a "Junk" folder is not junk, etc.

NOTE: If your ISP does not allow you to whitelist a domain, they are violating your basic right to receive e-mail from whomever you want. There are many other, customer-focused, ISPs who would love to have your business.

I fully support legitimate anti-spam measures taken by all mail servers and ISPs. But hundreds of thousands of good e-mails are blocked daily because of some unfair, vigilante groups who are more anti-business than anti-spam. If you can't whitelist the above domains in order to ensure that you receive your Healthy Happy Dogs ezine, remember that it is your basic right to receive e-mail that you want. My advice is to switch providers.

Again, sorry for any inconvenience, but these circumstances are beyond my control. All you and I can do is work together with the good ISPs and responsible mail services to shut out the spammers, and let the "good guys" through.

Thanks!
