Whitelisting Instructions

As a member of MyACA, we'd like to make sure you stay in the loop. To ensure our emails continue to reach your inbox, please add our community information to your whitelist.

A whitelist is a list in your email inbox of people or emails that are viewed with approval. By contrast, the blacklist is a list of people or emails that are not approved—like spam or malicious emails. By adding an email domain or IP address to the whitelist, you're telling your email provider "I want to keep receiving these emails."

Domain to whitelist: @connectedcommunity.org
IP addresses to whitelist (if possible):
54.240.14.78
54.240.14.79
54.240.14.80
54.240.14.31
54.240.14.32
54.240.14.106

54.240.14.216
54.240.14.217
54.240.14.218
54.240.14.219
54.240.14.220
54.240.14.221

2. Click “Settings” from the list that appears.
3. Click on the “Filters” tab along the top of the gmail box.

Yahoo!
If you're not receiving email you are expecting, there are two things you can do:
1. Use the "Not Spam" button in your Bulk folder.
2. Create a filter to automatically send email from certain email addresses to your Inbox. This is the only way to really ensure delivery.

Report as "Not Spam"”
1. Check your Yahoo! Bulk folder
2. If you see the email from @connectedcommunity.org, highlight it and click "Not Spam"
3. This does not guarantee that your mail will be delivered in the future, but it does help.

Create a Filter:
1. Click "Options" in the top right navigation bar
2. Select "Mail Options" from the list that drops down
3. Choose "Filters" located on the left side of the page
4. Click the "Add" button on the Filters page
5. Choose the “from” field.
6. Choose "contains"
7. Enter the text string to compare: @connectedcommunity.org
8. Choose the destination folder to which you would like the message delivered. For example: Inbox

2. In the Body of the page under "Junk e-mail" click the link "Safe and blocked senders"
3. Click the link "Safe senders"
