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.

To that end, please realize that we want our readers to always anticipate and enjoy the valuable information that our site delivers.

If you currently use an anti-spam program or service, we ask that you take just a minute or two to add our publication to your "safe" or permitted email sender list.  This usually involves simply adding our sending address (From:) to your white-list, safe-list, or list of privileged senders.  This is commonly known as white-listing a publication.

Please refer to the following white-listing instructions you can use to white-list bigverities depending on the filtering solution you use:

Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to: liz@bigverities.com and that will add us to your "People I Know" list automatically. To do this: Open your latest bigverities e-mail. Click the Reply button (it's in the top right corner). A new email window opens with the wrong address in the "Send To" box.
