It has been brought to our attention that some members are not receiving emails about upcoming events or event results.  As long as your email matches what you used when you created your GHIN account YOU ARE getting the emails but your email platform is misidentifying those emails as spam or junk mail.

 

This section will help you to resolve those issues.

 

What we need to do to resolve these issues is to "whitelist" the sending address of Golf Genius which is donotreply@golfgenius.com.

 

MSN, Hotmail, Outlook.com, Live.com Users:

 

Add the From address you want to receive mailings from to your MSN Hotmail, Outlook.com, Live.com Safe List:

 

• Open your mailbox and go to Settings then Options (upper right hand corner).
• Under the “Junk E-Mail” section, you’ll see “Safe Senders”.
• Click the “Safe Senders” link.
• Add our email sending addresses or domain into the dialog box.
• Click the “Add” button next to the dialog box.

 

Tip: If the mailing is in your “Junk E-Mail Folder”, open the email and click the “Not Junk” button.

 

Note: You should also check that the mailing’s email address is not in your Blocked Senders list.  You can find your Blocked Senders list by following the directions above and going to “Blocked Senders List” instead of “Safe List”.  If you see the mailing’s from address on this list, select it and click the Remove button.

Tip: To whitelist an entire domain (all mail from an address ending in 'example.com', for example), type the just the domain name or the domain name preceded by '@'. To whitelist 'example.com', for instance, type '@example.com' (not including the quotation marks). You do not have to create a separate filter for each address. Separate addresses with '|' in the From: field instead. To whitelist both 'jenny@example.com' and 'jelani@example.com', enter 'jenny@example.com | jelani@example.com', for example.
