Unwanted, unsolicited, advertising e-mail,
commonly called 'spam', has become a huge problem. It's reached such staggering
numbers that most e-mail services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
have resorted to putting some sort of blocking or filtering system in place
or have begun relying on self-proclaimed blacklists to tell the good guys
from the bad.
We acknowledge their intention to protect
us from spam, but everyone agrees that the current systems for stopping
spam are not even close perfect solution. They all too often block important
e-mails that you've requested, but that fits somebody's idea of what spam
looks like. The more responsible anti-spam companies and activists are
working hard to cut down on these 'false positives', but in the mean time,
you might surprisingly find you're not getting the e-mails you subscribed
to...
As it happens, there's something you can
do to keep the e-mails you value from being marked as a false positive
trap. You can fight the blacklists with a 'white-list'. White-list every
new subscription right at the start, before your delivery is interrupted.
One
thing you can do on any e-mail system you're using is to
add the address in the "From" line of the desired e-Letter
to your address book. There are several addresses we send mail
from, due to our use of multiple servers; you should whitelist the following
addresses:
- questions@naturalhealthnewsreport.com
- nhncomp@m1ve03.jda001.net
- nhncomp@m1ve04.jda001.net
- nhncomp@d2qt01.jda002.net
- nhncomp@m2qt01.jda002.net
- nhncomp@m2qt02.jda002.net

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 department for their instructions.
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 valued e-mails from some of the more popular of those
programs.
To find instructions for your e-mail provider
or software, scroll down or use the menu on the right.

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
e-mail you value 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 what subscriptions are e-mail that you asked for (or paid for)
and value. Ask them if they can white-list the sender. (Unfortunately, some e-mail
systems don't allow white-listing.) If they do white-list, they'll probably ask
you for some information about the publisher. Here's what to tell them:
- Sending Address: If your ISP asks for the "sender" or "from" address,
give them the addresses
in our sending address list.
- Domain: If your ISP needs to know the domain Natural Health News Report is mailing from, try forwarding them one of our e-mails. The domain
is in the "header" of every e-mail. If that doesn't work, you'll have
to contact the publisher to ask them what domain they're sending from. There
might be more than one, especially if you have multiple subscriptions.
IP Address: If your ISP asks for the sending
IP address, try forwarding them one of our e-mails. The "originating IP" is in
the "header" of every e-mail. If that doesn't work, you'll have to contact us to
ask what IP address we're sending from.
Thank you for white-listing us. |
