How To Whitelist the Liquid Words Live! Newsletter in Your Spam Filter

If you currently use an anti-spam program or service, please take a minute or two to add Liquid Words Live! to your "safe" or permitted email sender list. This usually involves adding our sending address (From:) to your whitelist, safelist, or list of priviledged senders. This is commonly known as whitelisting.

Please refer to the following whitelisting instructions you can use to whitelist Liquid Words Live!, depending on the filtering solution you use:

AOL:

Go to keyword: Mail Controls. Select the screen name we're sending your Liquid Words Live! to. Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.

For Version 9.0:

Open your latest Liquid Words Live! e-mail. Click the Add Address button (on the right) to add to your "People I Know" list.

Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to: liquidwordslive@liquidwordsproductions.com, and that will add us to your "People I Know" list automatically. To do this:

Open your latest Liquid Words Live! e-mail. Click the Reply button (it's in the top right corner). A new email window opens with the wrong address in the "Send To" box. Replace the address in the Send To box with: liquidwordslive@liquidwordsproductions.com. Click Send Now (in the top right corner). Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get through to us, the act of sending it does the job of putting us into your "People I Know" list.
