Spam & Email Blocking Information
Make sure your FHU emails are not blocked
Some email programs and spam software can block FHU emails, thinking they are spam or unsolicited email.

What is spam and email blocking?
Unsolicited or unwanted advertising email, commonly known as "spam," has become a big problem. It's reached such proportions that most email services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put some sort of blocking or filtering system in place to weed out the spam by creating "black lists." The problem with these programs is that they often block emails that you've requested and will suddenly even block emails that would normally come through. As it happens, there's something you can do. To allow FHU emails to be accepted unhindered and to stop them from getting on these blacklists, you can create a "white list."

What is a white list?
A white list is a list of persons, emails addresses or domain names from which an email blocking program will allow messages to be received. Of course, every email system is different, so we have provided instructions here for some of the more popular ones.

If yours isn't here, please contact your ISP's customer service folks for their instructions. One thing you can do no matter what email system you're using is add our email address, noreply@fhu1.org, to your address book. To find instructions for your email provider or software, scroll down or use the handy menu at right.

If you find our instructions are incorrect or need updating, please let Richard know at websubs@fhu1.org

 Others

Many popular email 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 email from. If you're using this sort of email system and you either aren't getting your FHU email or want to make sure you continue to receive all emails from us in the future, contact the customer service people or the Postmaster at the company that provides your email or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them that the FHU email is email that you asked for and value and find out if they can white-list the FHU.

Unfortunately, some email systems don't allow white-listing. If they do indeed white-list, they'll probably ask you for some information about us. If they ask for our address, it is noreply@fhu1.org

  • Domain: If they need to know the domain we're mailing from, it's fhu1.org
  • IP Address: If they ask for our sending IP address, it's 204.10.68.200
Thank you for white-listing the FHU email.
