How to Whitelist DIY Alert on your Yahoo! Mail

A note to Yahoo! Mail users:

If you sign up for the DIY Alert newsletter on your Yahoo! account, you may not be able to receive our emails until you add us to your "whitelist."

What the heck is a whitelist?
It's your list of approved email senders. If you put DIY Alert on your whitelist, then our emails to you will not get blocked by Yahoo's spam filters.

How to I do this?
It's pretty easy. First, log into your Yahoo! Mail account. Then look for the Options link. It should be in the upper right corner, as you see in this picture:

Next, click on Filters.

Now, click Add.

There are three things to do on the next screen, as you see below.

1. In the line we've highlighted, where it says, "From header..." type in our email address: sisterdiane@diyalert.com.

2. From the pull-down menu below that, where it says "Move message to..." select Inbox.

3. At the bottom of the page, click Add Filter

When you see this summary page, you should be all set. Make sure your page matches this one:

Thank you for whitelisting us. If you still encounter problems getting the email newsletter after this, please contact us.
