How To Whitelist Organic Bytes in your Spam Filter
Increasingly, Internet Service Providers (ISP) are using filtering systems to try and keep spam out of customers' inboxes. Sometimes, they accidentally filter the email that you want to receive. In many cases you are not notified (and neither are we) that an Organic Bytes email didn't get through.
To make sure that Organic Bytes is not filtered into your "junk" or "bulk" folder, please add ronniecummins@organicconsumers.org to your list of trusted senders. Follow the directions below.
Please whitelist us now, before your delivery is interrupted.
Please refer to the following whitelisting instructions you can use to whitelist Organic Bytes, depending on the filtering solution you use:
Mailblocks
MailShield
Mail Washer
McAfee Spamkiller
Spam Inspector
Spam Interceptor
