How To Whitelist Gizmo Design Notes in your Spam Filter

We applaud the anti-spam industry for removing the plethora of unwanted email from many of our mailboxes, but from time to time, some legitimate email publications are mistaken as unwanted.

If you currently use an anti-spam program or service, we ask that you take just a minute or two to add our publication to your "safe" or permitted email sender list. This usually involves simply adding our sending address (info@gizmo-design.com) to your whitelist, safelist, or list of privileged senders. This is commonly known as whitelisting a publication.

Please refer to the following whitelisting instructions you can use to whitelist Gizmo Design Notes, depending on the filtering solution you use:


AOL

Go to keyword: Mail Controls.
Select the screen name we're sending your Gizmo Design Notes to.
Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.

Version 9.0 :

Open your latest Gizmo Design Notes email.
Click the Add Address button (on the right) to add to your "People I Know" list.

Alternatively, you can just send an email to: info@gizmo-design.com , and that will add us to your "People I Know" list automatically. To do this:

Open your latest Gizmo Design Notes email.
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: info@gizmo-design.com Click Send Now (in the top right corner).
Even if the email you send doesn't get through to us, the act of sending it does the job of putting us into your "People I Know" list.
