Please add Duke's Chowder House (emailclub@dukeschowderhouse.com and wdyw@dukeschowderhouse.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 dukeschowderhouse.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 "everytime" 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 openthe 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 dukeschowderhouse.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 "Duke's Email Club".
5. In the "From header" section, select "contains" and then in the box immediately to the right, enter the text: @dukeschowderhouse.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 dukeschowderhouse.com to place in it your Inbox.

Hotmail will place any email that it interprets as SPAM in the "Junk" folder - located in the left navigation when you login.
