How to Whitelist the Radiant Professionals Alliance
It has come to our attention recently that many of our members are not receiving the important information that we send out via mass emails on a regular basis. Due to the volume and frequency of our email blasts, we have become identified as spammers. By definition, the RPA is in fact not a spammer per se, but it is impossible for most email servers to discern the difference between us and a true spammer.
For that reason, we are sending the following information out on how to “white list” the RPA so that you can receive the important information that we provide to our members. Below you will see a list of the most common email services on the internet today, and the procedures necessary to ensure that our information gets delivered to your in box, and not to your spam/junk email box. I have also found that it pays to go through your Junk Email folder every once in a while. You never know what gems may be waiting to be discovered.
As always, we are here to support you, our members, and if you ever have a problem, please feel free to reach out to myself or Denise, and we will do whatever we can to help you.
We want to reach you! To ensure delivery of electronic communications from Radiant Professionals Alliance, please follow the relevant whitelisting steps below.
Sincerely,
The Staff of the RPA
