Unsolicited, unwanted advertising e-mail, commonly known as "spam", has become a big problem. It's reached such proportions that most e-mail services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put some sort of blocking or filtering system in place or begun relying on self-proclaimed blacklists to tell the good guys from the bad.
We at The Zurich Club applaud their intention to protect you from spam, but everyone agrees that the current systems for stopping spam are far from a perfect solution. They often block e-mail that you've requested, but that fits somebody's idea of what spam looks like. The more responsible anti-spam activists are working hard to cut down on these "false positives", but in the mean time, you might unexpectedly find you're not getting your Zurich Club every time...
As it happens, there's something you can do to keep your Zurich Club from falling into the false positive trap. You can fight the blacklists with a "white-list". White-list us now, before your delivery is interrupted.
Of course, every e-mail system is different. Below are instructions for some of the more popular ones. If yours isn't here, please contact your ISP's customer service team for their instructions. (Forward the answer to us, and we might add it!)
To find instructions for your e-mail provider or software, scroll down or use the handy menu below.
AOL | Yahoo | Hotmail | Outlook 2003 | GMail | Earthlink | MSN | Others
For AOL version 9.0: you can ensure that your Zurich Club is delivered to your Inbox by adding our sending address to your "People I Know" list.
Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to the The Zurich Club "From" address, and that will add us to your "People I Know" list automatically.
Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get through to us (for whatever reason), the act of sending it does the job of putting The Zurich Club into your "People I Know" list--and that's what counts.
If you're using an earlier version of AOL, you'll need to set your Mail Controls instead. Here's how:
For AOL version 8.0: Select Allow email from all AOL members, email addresses and domains.
For AOL version 7.0: In the section for "exclusion and inclusion parameters", include these domains:
electricmessage.co.uk
youremessage.co.uk
f-s-p.co.uk

Many popular e-mail programs, including older versions of Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Mail, don't provide a convenient way for you to white-list the folks you want to receive e-mail from. If you're using this sort of e-mail system and you either aren't getting your Zurich Club or want to make sure you continue to receive your Zurich Club in the future, you can do something about it.
Contact the customer service people or the Postmaster at the company that provides your e-mail or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them that The Zurich Club is e-mail that you asked for and value. Ask them if they can white-list The Zurich Club. (Unfortunately, some e-mail systems don't allow white-listing.) If they do white-list, they'll probably ask you for some information about us. Here's what to tell them:

youremessage.co.uk
