Use White-Listing to Make Sure You Get Your Stock Barometer Alerts
Increasingly, ISPs are using filtering systems to try and keep spam out of customers' inboxes. Sometimes, they accidentally filter the e-mail that you want to receive.
The format, language, and speed in which Stock Barometer alerts are sent to members sometimes causes our recommendations to be filtered out as Spam, and delivered to your "junk" or "bulk mail" folder, even though we never send unsolicited e-mail.
In many cases, you are not notified and neither are we that Stock Barometer alerts didn't get through.
To make sure that Stock Barometer alerts are not filtered into your "junk" or "bulk" folder, please add Stock Barometer to your list of trusted senders. Follow the directions below for most of the ISP’s out there.

Others
Many popular e-mail programs, including
Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape don't provide a convenient way for you to white-list the folks from whom you want to receive e-mail. If you're using this sort of e-mail system and you either aren't getting your Stock Barometer alerts or want to make sure you continue to receive your Stock Barometer alerts, you can do something about it (read more below).
These programs also work with third-party spam blocking software. If you use a third-party Spam blocker, we've included instructions for the most popular ones such as McAfee’s Spamkiller and Symantec’s Norton’s Anti-Spam above, follow those directions, otherwise read below for details on how to make sure you get your e-mail from Stock Barometer alerts.
Further instructions on Making Sure You Get Your E-mail
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 Stock Barometer alerts are e-mails that you asked/paid for and value. Ask them if they can white-list Stock Barometer alerts. They'll probably ask you for some information about us. Here's what to tell them:
Sending Address: If they ask for our address, give them the address, info@stockbarometer.com.
Domain: If they need to know the domain we're mailing from, tell them stockbarometer.com.
One vital thing you can do that helps no matter what e-mail system you're using is this: add info@stockbarometer.com to your address book.
Thank you for white-listing Stock Barometer alerts.
