How to Whitelist TheSignChef.com

Since your ISP or email delivery service email client probably uses some type of spam filter, we ask that you add us to your trusted list of senders, contacts or address book. This is known as whitelisting.

Below are specific steps to take according to your email provider:

AOL

To make sure email gets delivered to your AOL inbox, you must add the email address or corporate domain of the sender to your Address Book or Custom Sender List.

1. Click the "Spam Controls" link on the lower right side of your inbox screen.
2. When the "Mail & Spam Controls" box appears, click the "Custom sender list" link.
3. Choose the "allow email from" option.
4. Add TheSignChef.com then click "Add"
5. Click "Save"

AOL Web Mail

If you use AOL Web Mail, replying to an email from TheSignChef will also work.

Email from that domain will now be delivered straight to your Inbox.

Yahoo! Mail

If you're not receiving email at you are expecting, there are two things you can do:

1. Use the "Not Spam" button in your Bulk folder.
   
   • Check your Yahoo! Bulk folder
   • If you see mail from TheSignChef, highlight it and click "Not Spam"
   • This does not guarantee that your mail will be delivered in the future, but it does help.
2. Create a filter to automatically send email from certain domains to your Inbox. This is the only way to really ensure delivery.
   
   • Click "Options" in the top right navigation bar
   • Select "Mail Options" from the list that drops down
   • Choose "Filters" located on the left side of the page
   • Click the "Add" button on the Filters page
   • Choose the field you want to match in the incoming message. For example, "header" or "to".
   • Choose the criterion by which you want a match to be made, such as "contains"
   • Enter the text string to compare.
   • Choose the destination folder to which you would like the message delivered. For example: Inbox

Hotmail Live, Windows Live and MSN

In the new Hotmail you must "Mark sender as safe" to enable hyperlinks even in text emails and images in HTML emails.

Entering the email contact in the address book or contacts no longer whitelists the sender

To ensure messages from specific email addresses are not sent to your Junk Email folder, you can do one of two things:

1. Check the "Junk" folder if you do not see TheSignChef email in your inbox
   If you see mail from TheSignChef in the folder, click the "Mark as safe" link
2. Add TheSignChef.com to your Safe List
3. Click "Show content" to view the body of the email if it contains images and HTML
4. Click "Mark as safe"
5. TheSignChef will now be added to your list of "Safe senders"

To Manually Add to Safe List:

1. Click "Options" in the upper right corner of your Hotmail screen
2. In the Body of the page under "Junk e-mail" click the link "Safe and blocked senders"
3. Click the link "Safe senders"
4. Enter the email address "@TheSignChef.com"
5. Click "Add to list"

Gmail

To make sure email gets delivered to your inbox, you must add the email address @TheSignChef.com to your contacts list.

1. Click the drop down arrow next to "Reply" in the upper right side of your inbox screen.
2. Click "Add TheSignChef to Contacts List" from the list that appears.
3. You will now see TheSignChef appear under the "Quick Contacts" list on the left side of the page.

Outlook 2003

Because of the various email platforms that can work with Outlook, it is tricky to tell you how to recieve all email to your Outlook inbox. We can tell you, however, how to make sure you can see all the emails you receive as they were intended to be seen — with images. If a company is not in your address book or "Safe Sender" list, your HTML images will not display.

To have HTML display correctly, users can:

1. Change their automatic download settings
   • Right click on a non-displaying image in an HTML email
   • Choose "Change automatic download settings" option
   • When the popup comes up, uncheck the first box in the list that says "Don't download pictures or other HTML content automatically
   • Click "OK"
2. Add your email or domain to their approved sender list
   • Right click on a non-displaying image in an HTML email
   • Choose "Add the domain to the safe sender list" option

Earthlink

If you are not receiving email at Earthlink, there are two actions you can take:

1. Check "Suspect Email" folder
