How to Avoid Spam Filters with
Proper Email Delivery and a Good Email Reputation!

Whitelist instructions are key to email delivery and easy with this free whitelist tool.

A recent whitelist study showed that only 22 percent of all email newsletters gave specific instructions to whitelist their newsletter. That is four out of five sites not offering any whitelist instructions to their subscribers. Talk about a missed opportunity.

I just recently (2/09/2009) have completly rewritten this page generator. It now includes more ISPs, Blackberries, SpamCop (yes SpamCop has a whitelist) who is now heavily used by Microsoft and ReturnPath, McAffee and Norton. If you have any additions or updates to offer, plese contact me at the top right. You can see my generated whitelist instructions here...

Whitelisting allows your subscribers to add your email address to a list of sites NOT to be filtered. It just doesn't give it priority, it sometimes avoids the filters altogether! Whitelisting used to bypass filters completely, 100% of the time.

At 1ShoppingCart we recommend Chris Lang’s whitelist generator to our merchants and have included a link to it in our new e-book on email marketing best practices. To those clients who are new to email marketing it has an easy to use interface and provides detailed instructions for their whitelist page. One of the biggest reasons email marketers go to single opt-in is their clients having the opt-in message caught in a spam filter or going to the bulk folder, with these instructions they don’t have to worry about that anymore.

In Hotmail, email whitelisting adds the sender to the "Safe senders" list. At Yahoo! email whitelisting assures the mail appears in the inbox rather than the Bulk folder. At AOL, Gmail and Hotmail email whitelisting enables HTML, clickable links and graphics. Without whitelisting your HTML emails appear with just placeholders and text emails appear with the links enabled.

Enter your information below to create a detailed set of email whitelist instructions for all major ISPs, mobile devices and spam filters. No information is recorded, it only creates a web landing page for you.

Your email from name:  

 * required!

This is your from name and appears under the "From:" column in your subscriber's inbox. You can use your business name, publication or your own name like I do. This appears in my emails like this From:

Chris Lang


From: email address:  

 * required!

This is the "From:" address portion of your email. This is the address that a receipient replies to and this is the address that the subscriber would whitelist. In my emails it appears like this "From: me@keywebdata.com"


Your Newsletter's Name:  

 * required!

This is the name of your newsletter. It will be used to customize your generated landing page.

You probably use the name of your newsletter or autoresponder series in the welcome email you send when a subscriber signs up. This will appear not only at the top of the instructions list but also in many of the instructions so your new subscriber knows what to look for in their inbox or the junk folder. This is important so enter it accurately.


Static Subject Line Text:  

Not required This is a tag line you add to the begining of all your email subject lines. Mine appears at the head of all my emails like this: [Get it to the Inbox]. It helps my email be easily identified in the inbox.



Save the page that results from the "Generate Instructions" button by..
clicking: "file"
then "save as" (on the menu bar at the top left of your browser)
Then save the generated web page with a .htm or .html(replacing the .php) file extension to My Documents on your machine.

Just add it to your website and link to it in every email.

Please leave my link at the bottom in tact as this represents over a hundred hours of work that I offer to you here for free. - Chris Lang

I am really grateful to have found Chris' web site. Over the last 4 years, the sales from our opt in only newsletter have dropped by several hundred percent, almost entirely caused by false positives from spam filters. Until now, there has been no one out there to help legitimate businesses like myself who have been devastatingly harmed by these filters. We've already ran & implemented Chris' techniques to educate our customers on how to get us past their filters, & have received lots of helpful info.

Even when I found Chris' site through Google, I never expected a real person to take the time to answer my questions!! I look forward to learning as much as possible to save the business I've worked so hard to create. Thanks Chris!
