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.
The format
and language in Weeklytips sometimes
causes it to be filtered out as spam, even
though we never send unsolicited email. In
many cases the intended recipient of the
email is not notified and neither are we
the sender that Weeklytips didn't get
through..
There is
something you can do to keep your WeeklyTips
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.
| One
vital thing you can do that helps
no matter what e-mail system
you're using is this: add the
address in the "From"
line of your most recent WeeklyTips
newsletter to your address book.
It will be this:
support@weeklytips.com
support@multiplestreammktg.com |

To
find instructions for your e-mail provider
or software, use this handy menu:

| Hotmail
| AOL

that your Early To Rise is delivered to
your Yahoo Inbox (not the Bulk Mail

it to your Inbox. Here's how:

from the pull-down menu.

AOL
If you're
using AOL, you can ensure that your Early
To Rise message is delivered to your Inbox
by setting your Mail Controls. Here's how:
- Go to
Keyword Mail Controls.
- Select
the screen name we're sending your
Early To Rise to.
- Click Customize
Mail Controls For This Screen Name.
For AOL
version 9.0:
You need to add our sending address to
your "People I Know" list.
Open your
latest WeeklyTips Newsletter Email
Click the Add Address button (over on the
right) to add Weeklytips to your "People I
Know" list.
Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail
to support@weeklytips.com address, and that
will add us to your "People I
Know" list automatically.
Open your latest Weeklytips e-mail.
Copy the address in the "From"
line.
Click the Reply button (it's in the top
right corner).
A new email window opens with the wrong
address in the "Send To" box.
Replace the address in the Send To box
with the one you copied out of the From
line.
Click Send Now (it's in the top right
corner).
Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get
through to us (for whatever reason), the
act of sending it does the job of putting
Weeklytips into your "People I
Know" list--and that's what counts.
For AOL
version 7.0:
In the section for "exclusion and
inclusion parameters", include
these domains:
@weeklytips.com
@asmartoffer.com
@multiplestreammktg.com
For AOL version 8.0:
Select Allow email from all AOL
members, email addresses and domains.
- Click Next
until the Save button shows up
at the bottom.

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 your
Weeklytips Newsletter or want to make sure you
continue to receive your Weeklytips 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 Weeklytips is e-mail that
you asked for and value. Ask them if they
can white-list the Weeklytips.com. 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 Weeklytips.
- Domain:
If they need to know the domain we're
mailing from, tell them both of
these:
@weeklytips.com
@asmartoffer.com
@multiplestreammktg.com
- IP
Address: If they ask for our
sending IP address, tell them both
of these:
64.23.82.100
64.23.0.164
64.23.82.103

Notes
If you want
your Contacts to be
considered safe senders, select the Also
trust e-mail from my Contacts
check box on the Safe Senders
tab. All e-mail addresses in your Contacts
folder will then be used by the Junk
E-mail Filter to evaluate
messages.
If you want
people who are not necessarily in your Contacts
but are people you correspond with
regularly to be considered safe senders,
select the Automatically
add people I e-mail to the Safe
Senders List check box on the
Safe Senders tab. By default, the check
box is selected. This check box is
introduced with Microsoft Office 2003
Service Pack 1. To get Service Pack 1, go
to Downloads on Office
Online. Under Office
Update, click Check for
Updates.
If Automatic Picture Download
is turned off, messages from or to e-mail
addresses or domain names on the Safe
Senders and Safe Recipients Lists will
be treated as exceptions and the blocked
content will be downloaded.
If you have existing lists of safe names
and addresses, you can import the
information into Microsoft Office Outlook
2003 by saving the list into a text (.txt)
file with one entry per line, and then
importing the list.
To quickly
add a sender, domain name, or mailing list
name to the Safe Senders or
Safe Recipients Lists,
right-click the message you consider safe,
and then on the shortcut menu, point to Junk
E-mail, and then click Add
Sender to Safe Senders
List, Add Sender's Domain (@example.com)
to Safe Senders List, or
Add Recipient to Safe
Recipients List.
If you are using a Microsoft
Exchange Server e-mail account, names and
e-mail addresses in the Global Address
List (Global Address List: The address
book that contains all user, group, and
distribution list e-mail addresses in your
organization. The administrator creates
and maintains this address book. It may
also contain public folder e-mail
addresses.) are automatically considered
safe.
If you are
using an Exchange Server e-mail account
and working online, you must be using
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or later.
If you do not know what version of
Exchange server your e-mail account is
using, contact your Exchange
administrator.
