At JPMartin.com, we take great efforts to protect you from spam emails. However, the current systems for stopping spam emails are far from perfect. They often block e-mail that you’ve requested, but that fits somebody’s idea of what spam looks like.

As a result, you might unexpectedly find you’re not getting your our communications regularly. As it happens, there’s something you can do to keep emails from us from falling into your spam or junk mail folders. You can fight the blacklists with a “white-list”. White-list us now, before your delivery is interrupted.

One thing you can do no matter what e-mail system you’re using is add the following email addresses to your address book.

• jpm @jpmartin.com
• news @jpmartin.com
• ask @jpmartin.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 white-list 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 our JPMartin newsletters or want to make sure you continue to receive our newsletters/communications 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 JPMartin newsletters/communications are e-mail that you asked for and value. Ask them if they can white-list JPmartin (Unfortunately, some e-mail systems don’t allow white-listing.) If they do white-list, they’ll probably ask you for some information about us. If they ask or our address, give them the address in the “From” line of your most recent JPMartin newsletter.

Thank you for white-listing JPMartin.com!
