The Stock Detective

Whitelist TheStockDetective

Many e-mail and Internet companies are now using programs to block unwanted e-mail, often called spam. Sometimes, however, these programs block e-mail you want to get.

Make Sure You Get TheStockDetective.

Unsolicited, unwanted advertising e-mail, commonly known as "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 or begun relying on self-proclaimed blacklists to tell the good guys from the bad.

We at TheStockDetective applaud their intention to protect you from spam, but everyone agrees that the current systems for stopping spam are far from a perfect solution. They often block e-mail that you've requested, but that fits somebody's idea of what spam looks like. The more responsible anti-spam activists are working hard to cut down on these "false positives," but in the mean time, you might unexpectedly find you're not getting your TheStockDetective every day…

As it happens, there's something you can do to keep your TheStockDetective from falling into the false positive trap. You can fight the blacklists with a "white-list." White-list us now, before your delivery is interrupted.

Of course, every e-mail system is different. Below are instructions for some of the more popular ones. If yours isn't here, please contact your ISP's customer service folks for their instructions. (Forward the answer to us, and we might add it!) If you're using some sort of spam filtering or blocking software yourself (in addition to what your ISP provides), we've also listed instructions on how to exempt your TheStockDetective from some of the more popular of those programs.

To find instructions for your e-mail provider or software, scroll down or use the handy menu at right.

One thing you can do no matter what e-mail system you're using is add the address in the "From" line of your most recent TheStockDetective to your address book.
