Making Sure The Burro Is Welcome In Your Inbox!

Whoa! I just wrote a long farewell post to less than 2 days ago announcing it to be the last you hear from AlwaysSpanish. And yet here we are! Well, that post was indeed meant to be the last and if you’re subscribed to our new blog at PeppyBurro, you’ve probably even received the first newsletter over the last few hours. So why bother confusing you with yet another post on a retired site, i.e. Always Spanish? Well, being a brand new site with hardly any prior interaction with you all, PeppyBurro is still a tad shy and needs your help ensuring it doesn’t get treated as a complete stranger.

When you receive an email from someone who has never written to you before, oftentimes your email server treats that sender with a certain amount of suspicion and for all the right reasons. Although PeppyBurro is committed to never spam or engage in any activity that even remotely resembles spam, your email overlords don’t know this. Somebody’s gotta vouch for the Burro to them which is where your help comes in. In order to continue serving you the way you’re used to being served, the Burro needs your help ensuring its messages don‘t get dumped in your Spam or Junk folder.

How to ensure a seamless delivery

In order to prevent getting tagged as Spam by your email server, please take a minute to whitelist important PeppyBurro email addresses. Whitelisting senders you trust is a fairly quick and simple process no matter what service you’re on. Depending on the email program you use, here are the instructions to add us to your address book, safe sender list, or whitelist.

The most common way to whitelist an address is to add it to your address book, white list, or safe list. There is no universal way to whitelist an address, so if this is not an option, you will have to consult the help section associated with your email application. They should have instructions on how to whitelist an address there.

Hope this helps. Looking forward to having you on board over at PeppyBurro and showing off our shiny new toy to you. Now this one really is the last email you’re receiving from Always Spanish, I promise. Thank you for your time and see you soon!
