Add FunCPE
to Your Safe List

This page explains how to add FunCPE to your "Safe List" so that you will receive your course related emails, such as your certificate of completion.


Please white-list us to ensure that you don't miss a single email from FunCPE

Unsolicited, unwanted advertising email, commonly known as "spam", has become a big problem. There is so much spam that most email services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put blocking and filtering systems to keep these messages out. The systems work . . .but sometimes they work too well, blocking messages that you want to receive from reputable senders.

Our certificate emails are sent as PDF attachments, and they are sometimes filtered out as spam, even though we never send unsolicited email. In most cases the intended recipient of the email is not notified (and neither are we) that the message did not get through.

But there is something you can do to make sure you receive your emails. The solution is to "white-list" FunCPE before your delivery is interrupted.

Of course, every email system is different. Below are instructions for some of the more popular ones. If yours isn't here, please contact your ISP's customer service department for their instructions.

 

NOTE: We never share your email address with anyone. View our complete Privacy Policy here.

 

One critical thing you can do that helps no matter what email system you're using is this: add our address to your address book.

These are the addresses:

Course emails:

funcpe@coursewebs.com

All other emails:

info@funcpe.com

 

To find instructions for your email provider or software, click on the name of your email type:

AOL
Eudora
Hotmail
Netscape Mail

Outlook
Outlook Express
Yahoo!
Other


To ensure that your FunCPE email is delivered to your Yahoo Inbox (not the Bulk Mail folder), you can instruct Yahoo to filter it to your Inbox. Here's how:

  • Open your Yahoo mailbox.

  • Click Mail Options.

  • Click Filters.

  • Next, click Add Filter.

  • In the top row, labeled From header: , make sure contains is selected in the pull-down menu.

  • Click in the text box next to that pull-down menu, then enter the address funcpe@coursewebs.com and info@funcpe.com.

  • At the bottom, where it says Move the message to: , select Inbox from the pull-down menu.

  • Click the Add Filter button again.

Thank you for white-listing FunCPE.



If you are using Hotmail, you can ensure that your FunCPE message is delivered to your Inbox by adding our "From" address to your Safe List. Here's how:

  • Click the Options tab.

  • Select Safe List. (It's under the heading Mail Handling .)

  • In the space provided, enter the addresses: funcpe@coursewebs.com and info@funcpe.com.

  • Click Add.

  • When you see the address you entered in the Safe List box, click OK .

Thank you for white-listing FunCPE.



If you're using AOL, you can ensure that your FunCPE message is delivered to your Inbox by setting your Mail Controls. Here's how:

  • Go to Keyword Mail Controls.

  • Select the screen name we're sending your FunCPE email to.

  • Click Customize Mail Controls For This Screen Name.

For AOL version 9.0: You need to add our sending address to your "People I Know" list.


Click the Add Address button (over on the right) to add funcpe@coursewebs.com and info@funcpe.com to your "People I Know" list.

 

For AOL version 7.0:   In the section for "exclusion and inclusion parameters", include both of these domains:

    @funcpe.com
    @coursewebs.com

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 .

Thank you for white-listing FunCPE.


Other Email Applications

Many popular email programs, including Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Mail, don't provide a convenient way for you to white-list the people you want to receive email from. If you're using this sort of email system and you either aren't getting your FunCPE messages or want to make sure you continue to receive your messages in the future, you can do something about it.

Contact the customer service people or the Postmaster at the company that provides your email or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them that FunCPE email is email that you asked for and want to receive. Ask them if they can white-list FunCPE. 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:
    funcpe@coursewebs.com
    info@funcpe.com

  • Domain: If they need to know the domain we're mailing from, tell them both of these:    
        @funcpe.com
         @coursewebs.com



Add a name to your Safe Senders or Safe Recipients List

You can add either the sender's email address or their domain name to the Safe Senders List.

On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Preferences tab, under Email, click Junk E-mai .
Click the Safe Senders or Safe Recipients tab.
Click Add.
In the Enter an email address or Internet domain name to be added to the list box, enter the address you want added (funcpe@coursewebs.com and info@funcpe.com), and then click OK.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each name or address that you want to add.

Notes

If you want your Contacts to be considered safe senders, select the Also trust email from my Contacts check box on the Safe Senders tab. All email addresses in your Contacts folder will then be used by the Junk Email Filter to evaluate messages.

If you want people who are not necessarily in your Contacts but are people you correspond with regularly to be considered safe senders, select the Automatically add people I email to the Safe Senders List check box on the Safe Senders tab. By default, the check box is selected. This check box is introduced with Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 1. To get Service Pack 1, go to Downloads on Office Online. Under Office Update, click Check for Updates.

If Automatic Picture Download is turned off, messages from or to email addresses or domain names on the Safe Senders and Safe Recipients Lists will be treated as exceptions and the blocked content will be downloaded.

If you have existing lists of safe names and addresses, you can import the information into Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 by saving the list into a text (.txt) file with one entry per line, and then importing the list.

To quickly add a sender, domain name, or mailing list name to the Safe Senders or Safe Recipients Lists, right-click the message you consider safe, and then on the shortcut menu, point to Junk Email, and then click Add Sender to Safe Senders List, Add Sender's Domain (@funcpe.com) to Safe Senders List, or Add Recipient to Safe Recipients List.

If you are using a Microsoft Exchange Server email account, names and email addresses in the Global Address List (Global Address List: The address book that contains all user, group, and distribution list email addresses in your organization. The administrator creates and maintains this address book. It may also contain public folder email addresses.) are automatically considered safe.

If you are using an Exchange Server email account and working online, you must be using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or later. If you do not know what version of Exchange server your email account is using, contact your Exchange administrator.

Thank you for white-listing FunCPE.
