Why Add Us as a "Safe Sender"?

Since your Email Service Provider probably uses some type of spam filter; we ask that you add us to your trusted list of senders, contacts or address book. All also known as "Whitelisting."

If you do not see an email from Content Marketing Institute in your Inbox, due to the overzealous filtering by ISPs my email may have mistakenly been sent to your spam folder. Please open your spam folder look for it there, open it and mark it as "not spam"...

Click the link to your provider or email client to Whitelist news.contentinstitute.com, from: Content Marketing Institute.

    Trend Micro

    If you received an email message that was incorrectly moved to the Spam Mail folder by the Anti-Spam Toolbar you can prevent this from occurring in the future.

    The Anti-Spam Toolbar detects spam by looking for certain keywords in the email's subject or body and matching it with the anti-spam pattern file. Occasionally, it may detect what you consider legitimate email as spam.

    To prevent this from occurring you can do either of the following:

    1. - Add the sender to the list of Approved Senders
    2. - Decrease the Spam Email Filter Strength

    Note: You can also select the email and click Not Spam to report it to Trend Micro. However, this feature serves only as a reference when we develop our spam database, and it may not have an effect on how the toolbar detects spam.

    Add the sender to the list of Approved Senders

    1. - Open Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.
    2. - Click the Spam Mail folder then select the legitimate email detected as spam.
    3. - Click Approve Sender on the toolbar.
    4. - Click Yes when the confirmation message appears.

    Decrease the Spam Email Filter Strength

    1. - Open Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.
    2. - Click Trend Micro Anti-Spam then click Settings.

    3. - Click the box to the left of the email that you would like to whitelist. At the top of the page, click "Whitelist." Barracuda will not block or quarantine the sender whose email address appears on the whitelist.

    Whitelist Senders and Domains

    1. - Open your web browser. Navigate to your company's Barracuda firewall homepage.
    2. - Click on the "Block/Accept" tab.
