PRAYER@PARLIAMENT

We never send unsolicited email and we always place an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every newsletter but the nature and layout of our newsletters can sometimes look like spam and get blocked. They can end up in your junk mail folders or held up at your ISP's mail server, you’ll never know it happened because ISPs don’t notify you.

You can do something about this by adding the our email address: admin(at)prayeratparliament.org.nz (the @ symbol replaced here to prevent spam bots from harvesting our email address and selling it!) to your address book. This is called white-listing and will ensure the delivery of the emails you want to receive will never be interrupted.

But, every email provider is different so we’ve included the white-listing instructions you need for the most popular ones below. If you don’t see instructions for your email provider, please contact your ISPs customer service department for instructions.

To ensure uninterrupted delivery, add this address to your address book, your white or safe senders list and mark one of the newsletters as "Not Junk": admin(at)prayeratparliament.org.nz. (the @ symbol replaced here and throughout this document by (at) to prevent spam bots from harvesting our email address and selling it!)

If you use a Web mail system or email application not listed above, the instructions for white-listing our address will depend on the specific email program you are using. If you access the help files, instruction manual or customer support, there should be instructions on how to do this.

In most cases, jut by adding the From address to your address book, safe list, white-list or contact list will be sufficient.

If the email is not getting to your inbox, then we suggest checking your spam folder, bulk folder or junk folder. If you find the email, then you will need to find a way to inform your mail application that it is not spam. Most likely the course of action is to select the email and click on the Not Spam or Not Junk button, if available.
