Guitar Control Whitelisting Instructions

Whitelist Instructions

Spam filters are always changing and becoming more effective, as well as aggressive. Sometimes the email that you want to receive will be filtered out of your Inbox by your spam filter. Be sure to check your Junk Mail or Spam folder every few days to ensure the email you want isn't being filtered there by accident. In most email programs, if a piece of email is put into your Junk or Spam folder, you can simply mark it "this is not spam" (see your email Help files for more information on this).

To be sure you receive the email from me that you requested, you must "whitelist" it. This means that you need to set up your email program to accept incoming email from a specific email address, in this case - ours. [email protected]
