How to add our email address to your safe senders list

Add us to your Safe Senders List

These days email filters are increasingly focusing on controlling “grey mail” or commercial mail and so more and more emails are being blocked or filtered into junk/spam folders. As a result of these changes you may be unable to read certain email communications even if you are happy to receive them or have subscribed to a mailing list.

To avoid these situations, please add:

  • Numeric and Logic Puzzles <newsletter@gordonburgin.com> to your Address Book or Contacts to receive our emails in your inbox
  • newsletter@gordonburgin.com to your Safe Senders List.

We’ve put together a list of the most commonly used email programs with easy to follow instructions on how to add email addresses to your Safe Senders List

What is an Email Safe Senders List?

Each email program features spam filters which automatically recognize white-listed and blacklisted email addresses. White-listed addresses are deemed acceptable and mail from these addresses is usually delivered to the inbox without additional filtering. Blacklisted addresses are senders from which you do not wish to receive email. The Safe Senders List, also commonly referred to as a whitelist, is a list of all email addresses you would like to receive email from.

Your Safe Senders List is managed by you within your email program and can be easily updated based on your preferences. By default, email messages that you add to your own personal address book are considered safe and will not be re-routed to your junk email folder.
