How to Whitelist The Protocol

SPAM has become a big problem. It's reached such proportions that most e-mail services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put some sort of blocking or filtering system in place.

You might unexpectedly find you're not getting the issues of The Protocol that you subscribed to...

Add The Protocol to your (or your ISP's) whitelist now to ensure every issue makes it to your inbox.

One thing you can do no matter what e-mail system you're using is add the FROM address of a recent issue to your address book.

For detailed instructions for your e-mail provider or SPAM-filtering software, please scroll down or click a link below:

AOL version 9.0

You can ensure that The Protocol is delivered to your Inbox by adding the sending address to your "People I Know" list.

  • Open the latest issue of The Protocol.
  • Click the Add Address button (over on the right) to add the "From" address to your "People I Know" list.

Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to the "From" address, and that will add the address to your "People I Know" list automatically.

  • Open the latest issue of The Protocol.
  • Copy the address in the "From" line.
  • Click the Reply button (it's in the top right corner).
  • A new email window opens with an address pre-filled in the "Send To" box.
  • Replace the address in the "Send To" box with the one you copied out of the From line.
  • Click Send Now (it's in the top right corner).

Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get through (for whatever reason), the act of sending it does the job of putting the address into your "People I Know" list--and that's what counts.

  • Go to Keyword Mail Controls .

  • Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name


Select Allow email from all AOL members, email addresses and domains .

  • Click Next until the Save button shows up at the bottom.
  • Click Save.

AOL version 7.0

If you're using an earlier version of AOL, you'll need to set your Mail Controls instead. Here's how:

  • Select the screen name that is subscribed to The Protocol.
  • Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name .

In the section for "exclusion and inclusion parameters", include the domain of the "From" address (dpstele.com, dpsezine.com, AND/OR dpsnewsletter.com)

Others

Many popular e-mail programs, including older versions of Outlook, Outlook Express , Eudora , and Netscape Mail , don't provide a convenient way for you to whitelist the folks you want to receive e-mail from. If you're using this sort of e-mail system and you either aren't getting e-mail you value or want to make sure you continue to receive it in the future, you can do something about it.

Contact the customer service people or the postmaster at the company that provides your e-mail or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them that The Protocol is e-mail that you asked for and value. Ask them if they can whitelist the sender. If they can, they'll probably ask you for some information about The Protocol. Here's what to tell them:

  • Sending Address: The address in the "From" line of the most recent issue of The Protocol.
  • Domain: dpstele.com, dpsezine.com, AND dpsnewsletter.com
  • IP Address: 72.3.142.47
Thank you for whitelisting The Protocol.
