Whitelisting Outgrow domain to receive Notification Emails

Sometimes it can happen that you, your team members, or your customers might not receive Outgrow emails in the inbox. A good practice that can be followed here is to check the Spam or Junk folder. There are a lot of reasons why emails land up in the spam folder, but rather than going over the reasons in this article, we want to help you and your team make the best of Outgrow and make sure they see all important emails from Outgrow in their Inbox, right where they belong, by whitelisting Outgrow’s domain. Whitelisting a domain ensures that emails sent from any email address on this particular domain reach the Inbox, instead of being marked as spam.

Whitelist domain in a Security program

Certain firewalls and intrusion prevention security programs can interfere (or block) emails from Constant Contact. If your contacts aren't receiving your emails and you already had them safelist your "From Email" address in their email client, they sometimes also have to update the safelist in their security program as well. This is less likely to affect web-based email programs, like Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL, and more likely to affect desktop-based email programs, like Outlook, Thunderbird, or AppleMail, because they sit behind the firewall for an operating system or network.

If you don't see your contact's security program listed below, they'll have to visit the support webpage for their security program and search for instructions to add "safe senders" to the safelist or contact them directly.

Important: Some security programs prompt you to restart your computer to allow the changes to take effect.
