Working Holiday Starter Email Whitelist Instructions

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 Contact WHS 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 [email protected], from: Contact WHS.

    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. - On the Spam Filter tab, move the slider bar to select a lower filter strength.

    Barracuda Networks

    The Barracuda Spam Firewall is a popular spam filtering solution. Barracuda uses several algorithms and processes to determine whether emails are spam.

    1. - Open your email client. Barracuda should send you a summary each day listing quarantined items. Choose the most recent Barracuda email message.
    2. - Locate the email from Contact WHS and the sender email address [email protected] that you do not want quarantined in the future. Click on the word "Whitelist," which is in green print to the right of the email title. This will open your list in a web browser.
    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.
    3. - Choose "Sender Domain Block/Accept." Enter the Domain name from [email protected] to whitelist. For example, you can enter aol.com to allow all AOL addresses.
    4. - You may enter a comment to remind you why you allowed this Domain. Click "Add."
    5. - Click your mouse on the "Email Sender Block/Accept" tab. Enter the email address of an individual sender that you want to whitelist, such as "[email protected]"
