PLEASE WHITELIST US

Follow these easy steps to make sure you receive your RDNY.com email alerts. Unsolicited e-mails, commonly known as SPAM, have become a huge problem online these days. Many ISPs and e-mail providers have installed spam-filters or use blacklists in order to weed out all of those unwanted SPAM e-mails. Unfortunately, due to the popularity of RDNY.com, some of these filtering programs may inadvertantly identify RDNY.com alerts as SPAM. Below are some steps to make sure you will receive your apartment updates.

Thank you!


ALWAYS...
Add the address Mailserver@RDNY.com to your address book in your e-mail program. This is the e-mail that is in the FROM: line in your RDNY.com's apartment email alerts.

AOL

To ensure your e-mail alerts are delivered to your AOL inbox (not the Bulk Mail or Junk Mail folder), you can instruct AOL to filter it to your Inbox. Here's how:

* Open your latest RDNY.com e-mail.
* Click the Add Address button (over on the right) to add RDNY.com to your
   "People I Know" list.

Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to the RDNY.com "From" address, and that will add us to your "People I Know" list automatically.

* Open your latest RDNY.com e-mail.
* Copy the address in the "From" line.
* Click the Reply button (it's in the top right corner).
* A new email window opens with an address pre-filled in the "Send To" box.
* Replace the address in the Send To box with the one you copied out of the From
   line.
* Click Send Now (it's in the top right corner).

Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get through to us (for whatever reason), the act of sending it does the job of putting RDNY.com into your "People I Know" list -- and that's what counts.

If you're using an earlier version of AOL, you'll need to set your Mail Controls instead. Here's how:

* Go to Keyword Mail Controls.
* Select the screen name we're sending your RDNY.com e-mails to.
* Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.

For AOL version 8.0: Select Allow email from all AOL members, email addresses and domains.

* Click Next until the Save button shows up at the bottom.
* Click Save.

For AOL version 7.0: In the section for "exclusion and inclusion parameters", include this domain:

* RDNY.com


GMAIL:

If you're using Google's gmail for e-mail, you can ensure that RDNY.com e-mails are delivered to your Inbox by either adding the sending address to your Contacts list or by marking any incorrectly filed e-mail as "Not Spam". Here's how:

* Open the latest issue of the e-mail you want to whitelist.
* Click the More Options link. It's on the title line of the e-mail, over on the right,
   next to the date. (If you see "Hide Options" instead, then you already have the
   extra options visible and can just skip this step.)
* When the extra options are visible (just below the subject line), click the Add Sender to Contacts list link.

Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to Mailserver@RDNY.com, and that will add the address to your Contacts list automatically.

Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get through (for whatever reason), the act of sending it does the job of putting the address into your Contacts list -- and that's what counts.

If one of your RDNY.com e-mails has been filtered into the Spam folder, you can prevent that ever happening again:

* Click on the Spam link to open your Spam folder.
* Click on the wrongly filtered e-mail to open it.
* Click the Not Spam button at the top of the e-mail (right next to "Delete Forever").

Others:

Many popular e-mail programs, including older versions of Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Mail, don't provide a convenient way for you to white-list the folks you want to receive e-mail from. If you're using this sort of e-mail system and you either aren't getting your RDNY.com e-mail or want to make sure you continue to receive your RDNY.com e-mails in the future, you can do something about it.

Contact the customer service people or the Postmaster at the company that provides your e-mail or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them that RDNY.com e-mail is e-mail that you asked for and value. Ask them if they can white-list RDNY.com e-mails. (Unfortunately, some e-mail systems don't allow white-listing.) If they do white-list, they'll probably ask you for some information about us. Here's what to tell them:

Sending Address: If they ask for our address, give them the address in the "From" line of your most recent RDNY.com e-mail.

Domain: If they need to know the domain we're mailing from, tell them this: RDNY.com.

Thank you for white-listing RDNY.com e-mail.
