White List
n.A whitelist
is a list of accepted items or persons in a set…. a list of e-mail
addresses or domain names from which an e-mail blocking program will
allow messages to be received.
Why is this
important?
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 The
Dallas Dinner Table 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 Dallas Dinner Table
emails…
As it
happens, there's something you can do to keep your Dallas Dinner
Table emails 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 Dallas Dinner Table emails from
some of the more popular of those programs.
To find instructions for your e-mail
provider or software, scroll down or use the handy menu at right.

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 Dallas Dinner Table to your address
book. |

Many popular e-mail programs, including older
versions of Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Mail,
don't provide a convenient way for you to white-list the folks you
want to receive e-mail from. If you're using this sort of e-mail
system and you either aren't getting your Dallas Dinner Table emails
or want to make sure you continue to receive your DR in the future,
you can do something about it. Contact
the customer service people or the Postmaster at the company that
provides your e-mail or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to
them that The Dallas Dinner Table is e-mail that you asked for and
value. Ask them if they can white-list the DR. (Unfortunately, some
e-mail systems don't allow white-listing.) If they do white-list,
they'll probably ask you for some information about us. Here's what
to tell them:
- Sending Address: If they ask for our address, give them the
address in the "From" line of your most recent Dallas Dinner
Table emails.
- Domain: If they need to know the domain we're mailing from,
tell them both of these:
youreletters.com
prioritymailer.net
