What is a Whitelist?

A whitelist is a list of email addresses that you find important or engaging and would like to keep receiving information from (think the opposite of Blacklist).

Whitelisting is simply registering a company or individual as an authorised mailer to your email account.

By Whitlisting an Email Address you are allowing the sender to contact you directly without having to go through a spam or junk mail filter. Think of it as giving the friendly postman a safe path that goes around the snarling guard dog. We understand that you probably have a tonne of emails coming in everyday from all directions, which is why we we’ve provided this guide here for sorting those emails automatically.

Note: As mentioned in our email, we’ll only email you when there’s a special offer or free content we think you’ll be interested in (about once a month).
