This page shows how to check your Spam filter and Whitelist our Emails to ensure delivery

 

We cover the main mail providers on this page but the general instructions should help with most mail systems.

 

With unsolicited and unwanted email becoming a larger problem, email services have made their spam filters more stringent. Unfortunately, these tougher guidelines for filtering can cause legitimate emails to be mistaken as spam.

 

Note: We send important notifications to your email address including Forgotten Password Emails, Account Information Emails and Newsletter Emails. [Newsletter Emails can be unsubscribed separately by clicking ‘Unsubscribe’ at the foot any newsletter received or contacting us HERE]

 

Included in this article are instructions for checking the spam filter for the major email providers. Additionally at the bottom you will find instructions for ‘white listing’ so that emails from us do not get marked as spam.
