How to keep The New Tropic safe from your spam filter

Did you miss our email? Sometimes your spam filter is very, very mean to us.

When you mark our emails “Not spam” and add [email protected] to your contacts, it helps us ensure that your newsletter arrives on time in your inbox every weekday. Here’s how to get started:

  1. Search your email for a message from [email protected].
  2. Drag the email to your inbox or open it and mark it as “not spam.” (You can’t mark it safe from inside your spam folder in Gmail.)
  3. Add [email protected] to your Address Book or Contact List.

If your email still isn’t arriving properly, please click the link to your provider or email client below for further instructions or send us a note and we’ll do our best to help walk you through it.

And, hey, thanks for waking up with us!

If you received an email message that was incorrectly moved to the Spam Mail folder by the Anti-Spam Toolbar you can prevent this from occurring in the future.

To prevent this from occurring you can do either of the following:

  1. Add the sender to the list of Approved Senders
  2. Decrease the Spam Email Filter Strength

Note: You can also select the email and click Not Spam to report it to Trend Micro. However, this feature serves only as a reference when we develop our spam database, and it may not have an effect on how the toolbar detects spam.

  1. Open Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.
  2. Click the Spam Mail folder then select the legitimate email detected as spam.
  3. Click Approve Sender on the toolbar.

Barracuda Networks

The Barracuda Spam Firewall is a popular spam filtering solution. Barracuda uses several algorithms and processes to determine whether emails are spam. Occasionally, it will mark a legitimate message as spam. There are two methods to safelist email senders so that the firewall will not quarantine future email.

Safelist Quarantined Senders

  1. Open your email client. Barracuda should send you a summary each day listing quarantined items. Choose the most recent Barracuda email message.
  2. Locate the email from The New Tropic and the sender email address [email protected] that you do not want quarantined in the future. Click on the word “safelist,” which is in green print to the right of the email title. This will open your list in a web browser.
  3. Click the box to the left of the email that you would like to safelist. At the top of the page, click “Safelist.” Barracuda will not block or quarantine the sender whose email address appears on the safelist.

Safelist Senders and Domains

  1. Open your web browser. Navigate to your company’s Barracuda firewall homepage.
  2. Click on the “Block/Accept” tab.
  3. Choose “Sender Domain Block/Accept.” Enter the Domain name from [email protected] to safelist. For example, you can enter aol.com to allow all AOL addresses.
  4. You may enter a comment to remind you why you allowed this Domain. Click “Add.”
  5. Click your mouse on the “Email Sender Block/Accept” tab. Enter the email address of an individual sender that you want to safelist, such as “[email protected]
  6. Include a comment. Click “Add.” In the future, Barracuda will not block emails from this sender.
