Follow these easy steps to make sure you receive your Rent-Direct.com email alerts.
Unsolicited e-mails, commonly known as SPAM, have become a huge problem online these days.
Many ISPs and e-mail providers have installed spam-filters or use blacklists in order to weed out all of those unwanted SPAM e-mails.
Unfortunately, due to the popularity of Rent-Direct.com, some of these filtering programs may inadvertantly identify Rent-Direct.com alerts as SPAM.
Below are some steps to make sure you will receive your apartment updates.
Thank you!
ALWAYS...
Add the address Mailserver@Rent-Direct.com to your address book in your e-mail program. This is the e-mail that is in the FROM: line in your American Capitalist email.
AOL
To ensure your e-mail alerts are delivered to your Yahoo inbox (not the Bulk Mail or Junk Mail folder), you can instruct Yahoo to filter it to your Inbox. Here's how:
* Open your latest Rent-Direct.com e-mail.
* Click the Add Address button (over on the right) to add Rent-Direct.com to your
"People I Know" list.
Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to the Rent-Direct.com "From" address, and that will add us to your "People I Know" list automatically.
* Open your latest Rent-Direct.com e-mail.
* Copy the address in the "From" line.
* Click the Reply button (it's in the top right corner).
* A new email window opens with an address pre-filled in the "Send To" box.
* Replace the address in the Send To box with the one you copied out of the From
line.
* Click Send Now (it's in the top right corner).
Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get through to us (for whatever reason), the act of sending it does the job of putting Rent-Direct.com into your "People I Know" list -- and that's what counts.
If you're using an earlier version of AOL, you'll need to set your Mail Controls instead. Here's how:
* Go to Keyword Mail Controls.
* Select the screen name we're sending your Rent-Direct.com e-mails to.
* Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.
For AOL version 8.0: Select Allow email from all AOL members, email addresses and domains.
* Click Next until the Save button shows up at the bottom.
* Click Save.
For AOL version 7.0: In the section for "exclusion and inclusion parameters", include this domain:
* Rent-Direct.com
GMAIL:
If you're using Google's gmail for e-mail, you can ensure that Rent-Direct.com e-mails are delivered to your Inbox by either adding the sending
address to your Contacts list or by marking any incorrectly filed e-mail as "Not Spam". Here's how:
* Open the latest issue of the e-mail you want to whitelist.
* Click the More Options link. It's on the title line of the e-mail, over on the right,
next to the date. (If you see "Hide Options" instead, then
you already have the
extra options visible and can just skip this step.)
* When the extra options are visible (just below the subject line), click the Add Sender to Contacts list link.
Alternatively, you can just send an e-mail to Mailserver@Rent-Direct.com, and that will add the address to your Contacts list automatically.
Even if the e-mail you send doesn't get through (for whatever reason), the act of sending it does the job of putting the address into your Contacts list -- and that's what counts.
If one of your Rent-Direct.com e-mails has been filtered into the Spam folder, you can prevent that ever happening again:
* Click on the Spam link to open your Spam folder.

Others:
Many popular e-mail programs, including older versions of Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Mail, don't provide a convenient way for you to white-list the folks you want to receive e-mail from. If you're using this sort of e-mail system and you either aren't getting your Rent-Direct.com e-mail or want to make sure you continue to receive your Rent-Direct.com e-mails in the future, you can do something about it.
Contact the customer service people or the Postmaster at the company that provides your e-mail or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them that Rent-Direct.com e-mail is e-mail that you asked for and value. Ask them if they can white-list Rent-Direct.com e-mails. (Unfortunately, some e-mail systems don't allow white-listing.) If they do white-list, they'll probably ask you for some information about us. Here's what to tell them:
Sending Address: If they ask for our address, give them the address in the "From" line of your most recent Rent-Direct.com e-mail.
Domain: If they need to know the domain we're mailing from, tell them this:
Rent-Direct.com.
Thank you for white-listing Rent-Direct.com e-mail.
