Email Delivery and Email Whitelist Instructions Generator
Email whitelist your email and avoiding spam filters is easy. Some can be bypassed if your email is whitelisted by the user!
The actual application that generates the web page for you has moved to whitelist email instructions and generator application.
A recent study showed that only 22 percent of all email publications gave specific instructions to whitelist their newsletter. That is less that’s one in four with 78% not offering email whitelist instructions.
Whitelisting allows your subscribers to add your email address, your domain or your email server IP address (this is different than your server or site IP) to a list of sites NOT to be filtered. It just doesn’t give it priority, it sometimes avoids the filters altogether! In 99% of all filters white listing bypasses the filters and sends the email on to the recipient’s inbox without your email facing another filter.
In Hotmail, email whitelisting adds the sender to the “Safe senders” list. At Yahoo! email whitelisting assures the mail appears in the inbox rather than the Bulk folder. At AOL, Gmail and Hotmail email whitelisting enables HTML, clickable links and graphics.
Enter your information below to create a detailed set of email whitelist instructions for all major ISPs and spam filters. No information is recorded, it only creates a web landing page for you. You can see my generated whitelist instructions here…

Chris, I really like this, it’s easier for an average user to understand then the last one. Just 1 issue for me: Rather then using it as it’s own page, I integrated your code with my subscribe page. I’d like to be able to move the text to a left allign, & can’t figure out how to do so.

Geff, just change the attributes in this line < div style=”width: 800px; margin-left: 20%; margin-right: 20%;” >’. You can change the width and remove the margins and it will left align by default. Also I would refer to it at the top of every email and link to the page it is on.

Great white-listing instructions generator , just what I needed!
There is a slight problem with couple of links on the resulting instruction page, specifically MailWasher, McAfee and SpamPal - links to bring you to that section don’t work. However, this is easily fixed by checking if the id’s in the beginning of the html document (where it says a href=”#Mailwasher”) are identical with id’s used in h3 tags (.h3 id=”MailWasher”…) In these 3 cases there is a misspelling (capital versus lower case: MailWasher should be Mailwasher)
