IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR SUBSCRIPTION:

Please add BluWater Bistro (bluemail@bluwaterbistro.com) to your email white list.

So, how do you add us to your white list? There are quite a few Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and email software packages available today. In time, we'll do our best to cover as many as possible. Here are a few of the most common providers.

What is a white list?

So why do I need to add bluwaterbistro.com to my email white list? What is a "white list" anyway? Great questions - and ones that we'd love to explain...

Most of us who use email are unfortunately too aware of "Spam email". A simple definition of spam email would be an unsolicited commercial message (email) that is sent to multiple recipients (often thousands or millions). They're very annoying, and we're happy to see that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are doing what they can to help filter out these types of emails. Unfortunately, sometimes the good guys get filtered out with the bad.

The solution? The white list, approved senders list, or safe senders list - there are a variety of names for it. Simply put, a white list is a group of contacts or email addresses that you want to receive email from. When you first receive an email, your service provider or email software will check this list. If the email has been sent from someone on this list, the email will be automatically delivered to your Inbox - every time! We emphasize the words "every time" because spam filters are constantly changing. So, if you are receiving our newsletter today, without issue, it may not always be that way - unless you add us to your white list.

Yahoo Mail

If Yahoo interprets an email as SPAM, it will place it in your "Bulk" folder - located in the left navigation. It's a good idea to check this folder periodically. If you find an email in the bulk folder that you wanted to receive, simply open the email and click on the "Not Spam" button. This will help to train Yahoo's filters that this email sender is not sending SPAM. Note that this will not automatically insure that you'll receive email from the desired sender in the future. You've done your part to help in the fight against SPAM - now let's make sure that you receive bluwaterbistro.com offers.

Here's how:

1. Open your Yahoo mailbox and click on the "Options" link in the upper right-hand corner
2. Find the "Filters" link and click on it.
3. We're going to set-up a new filter, so click on "Add".
4. In the "Filter Name" box, give your filter a name that reminds you of what it's all about - you might use something like "Subscriptions" or "BluWater Email Club".
5. In the "From header" section, select "contains" and then in the box immediately to the right, enter the text: @bluwaterbistro.com
6. Near the bottom of the filter window, find the section that says "Move the message to:" and select "Inbox" from the dropdown box.
7. In the lower left corner, click the "Add Filter" button. Voila! You've done it - you've told Yahoo that anytime it receives an email from bluwaterbistro.com to place in it your Inbox.

Hotmail (MSN, live)

Hotmail will place any email that it interprets as SPAM in the "Junk" folder - located in the left navigation when you login. You'll want to make sure to check this folder every so often to make sure that an email you did want to receive did not end-up there. You can insure that bluwaterbistro.com email offers are delivered to your Inbox by adding us as a "Safe sender".

Here's how:

1. Login to your Hotmail account.
2. Click on the "Options" tab in the upper right-hand corner and then click on "More options ...".
3. We want to add bluwaterbistro.com as a Safe Sender, so locate the "Junk e-mail" category and click on "Safe and blocked senders".
4. Click on "Safe senders"
5. In the box labeled "Sender or domain to mark as safe:", enter the following: bluwaterbistro.com
6. Click the "Add to list >>" button.
7. That's it! There is no "save" button - you've now insured that you'll receive emails from bluwaterbistro.com.

Note: Hotmail uses additional protection features that will block attachments, pictures, and links in the message. Our email club uses a number of graphics (pictures) and often includes links to our site. To see these, simply open one of our emails and click the "Mark as safe" link at the top of the email. This will add bluwaterbistro.com to your "safe list" and will allow all pictures and links to function in the current and future emails.

GMail will place any email that it interprets as SPAM in the "Spam" folder - located in the left navigation after you login. To insure that you receive bluwaterbistro.com offers, all you need to do is add us as a contact.
