Use "White-listing" to
Ensure Newsletter Delivery
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.
Sometimes the ABR Newsletter
is filtered out as spam, even though
we never send it unsolicited. In many cases
the intended recipient of the e-mail is not notified. When this happens we make an attempt to let the user know about the problem, but in many cases even this message is filtered out, so we must drop the subscriber from the rolls.
There is something you can do to keep the ABR Newsletter
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!)

One vital thing you can do that helps no matter
what e-mail system you're using is this: add
this e-mail address to your address book: abr@biblearchaeology.org. |

Others
Many popular e-mail programs, including 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 the ABR Newsletter or want to make sure you continue to receive
it 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 the ABR Newsletter is e-mail that you asked for and
value. Ask them if they can white-list the ABR Newsletter.
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 this e-mail address: abr@biblearchaeology.org.
- Domain: If they need to know the domain
we're mailing from, tell them "@biblearchaeology.org".
Thank you for white-listing the ABR Newsletter.
