Mailing list messages going to “Junk Mail”?

If you find that messages from the Linlithgow Ramblers’ mailing list are being routed to a “junk mail” or “spam” folder, there are steps you can take to ensure that they arrive in your INBOX. The procedure depends on which email service provider you use. Instructions for some of the most common providers are listed here.

btinternet

In your browser go to signin1.bt.com/login/emailloginform
Log in with your email address and password. From the Settings tab, select the “Safe senders” folder and click on the Add button

Add the email domain you want to mark as safe, i.e.: linlithgowramblers.org.uk
and click Save

By using just the email domain name rather than the full email address, you will ensure that all mail originating from Linlithgow Ramblers will arrive in your INBOX.
