Email Delivery Information

Since most ISP companies use spam filters, please add our email address to your list of Approved Senders or Contacts. This process is commonly known as Whitelisting.

If you do not see an email from us in your inbox (due to the overzealous filtering by ISPs) our email may have been sent to your spam folder. Please open your spam folder look for it there, open it and mark it as "not spam".

Refer to the list below for your ISP or your Email Client and find corresponding section below to see how to add our email address to the "Approved" or "Safe"  Senders list.
If not listed here, you may try GOOGLE to find the instructions for your specific service or version.  Search on Whitelist, Safe Senders or Approved Senders for your emaiil service provider.

You may also wish to GOOGLE to find more recent information for your specific service provider, as these can change with new versions and we cannot keep up with them all!   We have found instructions for some of the more popular email service providers, email clients, and spam filters that you may find helpful.

If you received an email message that was incorrectly moved to the Spam Mail folder by the Anti-Spam Toolbar you can prevent this from occuring in the future.

The Anti-Spam Toolbar detects spam by looking for certain keywords in the email’s subject or body and matching it with the anti-spam pattern file. Occasionally, it may detect what you consider legitimate email as spam.

To prevent this from occurring you can do either of the following:

  • Add the sender to the list of Approved Senders
  • Decrease the Spam Email Filter Strength

Note: You can also select the email and click Not Spam to report it to Trend Micro. However, this feature serves only as a reference when we develop our spam database, and it may not have an effect on how the toolbar detects spam.

       Add the sender to the list of Approved Senders

  1. Open Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.
  2. Click the Spam Mail folder then select the legitimate email detected as spam.
  3. Click Approve Sender on the toolbar.
  4. Click Yes when the confirmation message appears.
