How to add an email address to your White-list or Safe Senders List

Add an Address as a Safe Sender

Most email clients provide a safe sender or whitelist option for trusted contacts in the address book. You can add any sender email address (“from” address) to this list to help messages bypass filters and reach your inbox.
