Email Whitelist Instructions
We just discovered that many of our recent posts have been lost in cyberspace, returned undeliverable. We're presently trying to fix that, but we need YOUR help! Since your ISP (Internet Service Provider) probably uses some type of spam filter we ask that you
add us to your trusted list of senders, contacts, or address book. This is known as whitelisting.
STEP 1: If you do not see an email from Daniel, Meredith, Lily, and Hosea in your inbox, due to the overzealous filtering by ISPs my email may have mistakenly been sent to your spam folder. Please open your spam folder, look for it there, open it and mark it as "not spam"...
STEP 2: Scroll down to your email provider for specific instructions on how to Whitelist all future posts from Until the Nets are Full: Our Latest Blog Update, from: Daniel, Meredith, Lily, and Hosea.
Please Note: I have changed @ to [at] in each email reference below to avoid bots scanning the web for email addresses to send spam to. Please use the @ symbol when adding us to your secure sender list.
AOL
To make sure email gets delivered to your AOL inbox, you must add the
email address or corporate domain of the sender to your Address Book or
Custom Sender List.
- Click the "Spam Controls" link on the lower right side of your inbox screen.
- When the "Mail & Spam Controls" box appears, click the "Custom sender list" link.
- Choose the "allow email from dshrader[at]dbcm.org" option.
- Add the domain or email address you would like to receive mail from, then click "Add"
- Click "Save"
AOL Web Mail
If using AOL web mail replying to an email from Daniel, Meredith, Lily, and Hosea will also work.
Email from that domain will now be delivered straight to your Inbox.
Yahoo! Mail
If you are not receiving email you are expecting, there are two things you can do:
- Use the "Not Spam" button in your Bulk folder.
- Create a filter to automatically send email from certain domains to your Inbox. This is the only way to really ensure delivery.
Report as "Not Spam"
- - Check your Yahoo! Bulk folder
- - If you see the email from Daniel, Meredith, Lily, and Hosea, highlight it and click "Not Spam"
- - This does not guarantee that your mail will be delivered in the future, but it does help.
Create a Filter
- Click "Options" in the top right navigation bar
- Select "Mail Options" from the list that drops down
- Choose "Filters" located on the left side of the page

- Enter the text string to compare. For example: Our Latest Blog Update from Daniel, Meredith, Lily, and Hosea
- Choose the destination folder to which you would like the message delivered. For example: Inbox
Hotmail Live, Windows Live and MSN
In the new Hotmail you must "Mark sender as safe" to enable hyperlinks even in text emails and images in HTML emails.
Entering the email contact in the address book or contacts no longer whitelists the sender
