Keeping AFA Emails Out Of Your Spam or Junk Email

Several email providers (particularly AOL and Comcast) use very aggressive spam filtering to prevent unwanted junk emails from reaching their subscribers. Unfortunately, AFA Alaska emails sometimes get caught in these filters as well.

A “whitelist” is a list of email addresses that are known to the user of an email account. By adding AFA Alaska to the whitelist within your email account, you are telling their server that emails from AFA are trusted and can be let through the filters.
