Whitelist instructions generator for your website or newsletter

Would you like to give instructions to your visitors about how to white list your domain name when they sign up for your email list? Get tired of keeping up with the latest instructions? Well fret no longer, just point your visitors to my free whitelist generator, which will produce a custom white list instruction set for your newsletter. And, since I’ll keep it up-to-date, you’ll never have to worry about it again. And no, it’s not covered with ads.

Here’s all you need to do….

• Site or Newsletter Name - Your Newsletter Name, spaces replaced with “%20″… so “Weekly Newsletter” becomes “Weekly%20Newsletter”.
• Your Domain Name - your “.com” name. For example, websiteadvice.com… don’t use the “WWW”
• SendAddress - the address that will appear in the “From” field of newsletters. CHECK IT, this is important.

Here’s how the link is assembled:

?params&SiteName=SITE-or-NEWSLETTER-NAME
&DomainName=yourdomainname.com
&SendAddress=send@yourdomain.com

Examples of this in use (don’t forget to replace the information in the link)

   Thanks for making this available!

   What can be done to get rid of the extra “@quot” that are showing up?

   I think it would be good to add gmail to your list…

   Here is information regarding gmail and whitelisting:

   Gmail does not have a system for whitelisting, however there are two important factors that, under normal circumstances, help messages arrive in Gmail users’ inboxes:
   * The ‘From:’ address is listed in the user’s Contacts list.
   * A user clicks ‘Not Spam’ to alert Gmail that messages sent from that address are solicited.

   And here are the directions for Entourage

   ENTOURAGE Directions

   Add message senders to the Address Book. Junk E-mail Protection never assigns messages from contacts in your Address Book to the Junk category.

   To Add the sender of a message to the Address Book
   1. In the Message list, click a message from the sender you want to add to the Address Book.
   2. On the Tools menu, click Add to Address Book.

   Thank you again!
