Whitelist Lainey’s Books Newsletter

What Does Whitelisting Mean?

Whitelisting an email involves telling your email provider that you want emails from a sender (in this case my newsletter Lainey’s Books) to be allowed into your inbox rather than being filtered into spam.

Whitelisting helps you avoid missing emails that you wish to see and having to search for them in a spam folder. A whitelisted email address will always be allowed into your inbox, ensuring that your email account is working for you as much as possible.
