Why is this important?

Many e-mail and internet service providers have put in aggressive programs and filtering system to block unwanted e-mails (also known as spam).

OptinMonster applauds their intention to protect all of us from spam, but everyone agrees that the current system is far from perfect.

Often these programs block e-mails that you actually want to get. Here’s how you can help the system prevent “false positives” and join the fight against spam.

Solution: Allow Emails from OptinMonster

An allow-list or safe-senders list is a list of email addresses of people who you want to receive emails from (and the system will never block those).

It’s a way for you tell your email provider that Syed from OptinMonster is my friend, and I actually want to learn from him.

When you do this, email providers actually use your list to make adjustments to their overall filtering system which in turn helps the entire world!

Here’s how you can allow our emails before your delivery is interrupted

Of course, every e-mail system is different. Below are instructions for some of the more popular ones. If yours isn’t here, please contact your ISP’s customer service folks for their instructions.

I hate popups, so I was hesitant to try one on my site. But the results from OptinMonster exit-intent popup speak for themselves. I doubled my subscription rate immediately without annoying my users. I haven’t had a single complaint. My only regret is that I didn’t start using OptinMonster sooner. I can only imagine how many subscribers I could have added to my email list! If you have a blog, then I highly recommend you start using OptinMonster. I’ve researched them all, and it’s the best in market.
