Whitelisting

E-Mail Whitelist

What is it and how to add BBQ Feast Catering.

To whitelist an email address just means you add them to your approved senders list. This tells your email client that you know this sender and trust them, which will keep emails from this contact at the top of your inbox and out of the junk folder.
How do you whitelist? 
Whitelisting is a quick, one-time-only task to ensure the sender of an email gets added to the recipient’s address book or safe senders list.

Usually, all you need to do is open an email message and verify the sender can be trusted:

Here are simple instructions on how to ensure that future emails get delivered straight to the inbox, in some of the most popular email clients:

Apple Mail (OS X and iOS devices)

Both Apple Mail on OSX and Mail on iOS devices have a similar process for adding senders to Contacts. By selecting the From, or Reply-to on an email message, you can choose to “Add to Contacts” or “Add to VIPs.”

The advantage of “Add to VIPs” is that future emails from this sender will be added to a special VIP mailbox in iOS Mail.

Outlook 20XX

Outlook 2016
Select Actions. | Junk E-mail. ...
Go to the Safe Senders tab.
Click Add....
Enter info@bbqfeast.com
Click OK.
Click OK again.

Outlook 2010 / 2013
Click the Home tab.
Click Junk.
Click Junk E-mail Options.
Click the Safe Senders tab.
Click Add.
Enter info@bbqfeast.com and click OK to finish.

Outlook 2003 / 2007
Click on Tools.
Click Options.
Click on the Junk E-mail button.
Click the Safe Senders tab.
Click Add.
Enter info@bbqfeast.com and click OK to finish.


When opening an email from a sender, an alert at the header of the message, “Click here to download pictures…” should display. Click this and select, “Add Sender to Safe Senders list:”


Hotmail.com ; Live.com & Outlook.com

Select Settings, then Options. In the left pane, choose Junk Email, then Safe Senders. In the box, enter the email addresses or domains that you want to whitelist, and select the Add button. Click Save, and you're all set.

You should also check that the mailing's email address is not in your Blocked Senders list. You can find your Blocked Senders list by following the directions above and going to "Blocked Senders List" instead of "Safe List". 
If you see the mailing's from address on this list, select it and click the Remove button. 

After opening an email message, an alert message should display with, “Parts of this message have been blocked for your safety.” Beneath this, click the link with, “I trust sender@theirdomain.com. Always show content:”

Yahoo! Mail

When opening an email message, a “+” symbol should display next to From: and the sender’s name. Select this and an “Add to contacts” pop-up should appear. Select “Save:”

Gmail (Webmail)

Getting all future emails from a sender to appear in the “Primary” tab (instead of “Promotions”, or elsewhere) is a quick, two-step process.

First of all, drag-and-drop the email message from beneath the tab it’s currently filed under, to the “Primary” tab:

Once done, a message alert will appear with, “This conversation has been moved to Primary. Do this for all future messages from sender@theirdomain.com?” Select “Yes:”

Gmail (Mobile)

Gmail on mobile devices doesn’t provide a way to prioritize messages. However, touching “Show images” then “Always show images from Sender” will ensure that images always display in the inbox:

On Android devices, open the email message and touch the picture of the sender that displays before the message. Tap “Add to Contacts.”

Windows Live Desktop

After opening an email message in Windows Live Desktop, an alert in the preview pane with, “Some images in this message are not shown.” will display. Select the link, “Add to Safe Senders list.”


Another Tip

You may no longer have the option of simply adding senders to your contact list or address book to have them automatically whitelisted. 

Hotmail.com & Outlook.com will still send emails to your junk folder unless bbqfeast.com is on your Safe Senders list. To be absolutely sure you receive our emails, check your Junk folder and/or manually add info@bbqfeast.com and bbqfeast.com domains to your Safe Senders list.
