The Power Edit.

Many e-mail and Internet companies are now using programs to block unwanted e-mail, often called spam. (Boooo spam.)

Sometimes though… these programs block e-mail you actually want to get.

To Make Sure You Receive Your Power Edit Emails Do The Following:

Be sure to add The Power Edit email addresses to your email white list for the best chance of receiving our content and updates.

In case you aren’t familiar with this, here’s how it works:

A whitelist is a list of accepted items or persons in a set…. a list of e-mail addresses or domain names from which an e-mail blocking program will allow messages to be received.

Why is this important?

Unsolicited, unwanted advertising e-mail, commonly known as “spam”, has become a big problem. It’s gotten so bad 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.

The Power Edit fully supports 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 subscription’s content…

As it happens, there’s something you can do to keep your subscription’s content 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 subscription from some of the more popular of those programs.

1. In your inbox, locate an email from info[atsign]thepoweredit.com (ex. your welcome mail for the product you just purchased).
