How do I ensure email that I do want gets through
Spammers are very sophisticated these days. They use a variety of means to gather email addresses. Email addresses at highest risk of spam are those email addresses that are listed on websites. Robots search websites every day. They can easily gather email addresses to spam. Once you are in their system it is impossible to get your email off their lists.
Most hosting companies and email interface providers like Microsoft Outlook come with various methods of intercepting spam. The problem we usually have to address is how to make sure you get the email you should or want to get. This is a difficult task. However, most systems come with a “white list” or “this is NOT junk” option.
There are too many systems to try and deal with. Therefore, it is up to you to figure out how to “white list” emails that you want to get. If you are a Paontheweb.com client we provide a simple solution. Inside the cpanel of your website there is an interface called Horde. In the Horde Options area and in your inbox area there is a whitelist feature. Simply add the email you want to get and it will come through to your inbox. This does not prevent Microsoft Outlook and other email interfaces from intercepting and wrongly marking your white listed email as spam. You will have to frequently check your Junk folder and mark good email as Not Junk.
