How to whitelist Macworld newsletters

Thanks to CleanMyMailbox for providing this information.

If you currently use an anti-spam program or service, or if your ISP or e-mail provider does, you can help insure that you receive your Macworld newsletters by adding them to your “safe” or permitted e-mail sender list (often called a “whitelist”). This usually means simply adding our sending (or “From”) address to your whitelist, safelist or list of privileged senders.

(If you do not find your e-mail provider or anti-spam solution in the list below, check the “Other Providers” information at the bottom. You may also wish to consult the Help option your e-mail provider probably offers. In most cases below we also include information on how to whitelist the server which sends an e-mail verification message to first-time newsletter subscribers.)

AOL

• Go to keyword: Mail Controls.
• Select the screen name to which we send your Macworld newsletters. Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.

Version 9.0:

• Open your most recent Macworld newsletter. Click the Add Address button (on the right) to add to your “People I Know” list.
• As an alternative, simply send an e-mail to: macworld@lm.macworld.com, and that will add the newsletters to your “People I Know” list automatically. To do this:
• Open your most recent Macworld newsletter.
• Click the Reply button (in the top right corner).
• A new e-mail window will open with the wrong address in the “Send To” box.
• Replace the address in the Send To box with: macworld@lm.macworld.com
• Click Send Now (in the top right corner).
• (You probably will receive an autoreply from Macworld stating that address cannot accept e-mail. Don’t worry; the act of sending the message there does the job of putting Macworld newsletters into your AOL “People I Know” list.)
