How To White List ("Whitelist")
Hilton House in your Spam Filter
With the advent of outrageous volumes of unwanted email these days, it's
unfortunate that legitimate email publications are not being seen by some
of the readers who enjoy those publications.
While we applaud the anti-spam industry for removing the plethora of
unwanted email from many of our mailboxes, from time to time, some
legitimate email publications are mistaken as unwanted.
Sometimes, this results in our Hilton House mailings bouncing back, with
requests for us to respond to challenge/response messages to prevent
future filtering. However, due to the size of our list, it's nearly
impossible for us handle the volume of such requests.
To that end, please realize that we want our readers to always anticipate
and enjoy the valuable information that our messages deliver.
If you currently use an anti-spam program or service, we ask that you take
just a minute or two to add our Friends & Family publication to your
"safe" or permitted email sender list. This usually involves simply
adding our sending address (From:) to your whitelist, safelist, or list of
privileged senders. This is commonly known as "whitelisting"
a publication.
Please refer to the following whitelisting instructions you can use to
white list Hilton House, depending on the filtering solution you
use:
Microsoft Outlook Email System
Since many
use Outlook, we address this system first. Here we are discussing
"Outlook" - not Outlook Express (which does not accommodate
whitelists).
Open your Outlook program. Click on the "Actions" menu in the top menu
bar. A drop-down menu should appear with the sub-menu "Junk E-mail" -
click on the "Junk E-mail" item. Then click on "Junk E-mail Options" A new
window should open with tabs at the top. Click on the tab labeled "Safe
Senders" - then click on the "Add" button that will appear. In the space
provided in the next window - type the following email address:
hiltonhouse@app.topica.com .
Then click "OK"
Before exiting the next window - make sure the following two boxes are
checked ...
"Also trust e-mail for my Contacts"
"Automatically add people I e-mail to the Safe Senders List"
Finally, "OK" out of the Junk E-mail Options Window.

detailed explanation of the Outlook mail filtering system -

You should now be able to receive Hilton House emails - unless you also
have one of the below filtering systems in place in addition to your
Outlook Junk E-Mail system.
