You should now receive within a couple minutes an email with a confirmation link in it. You need to click this link because we want to know if it’s really you. We don’t want to “spam” people by sending them our news that they didn’t ask for.

It used to be that when you sent out an email, it was always delivered. Then along came spammers, and everything changed. Email companies (ISPs) were forced to come up with a solution to preventing their users from being bombarded with unwanted emails. Most of these ISPs have their own proprietary spam filtering services for their customers. Sometimes these services work well, but other times, they block emails that you WANT to read, simply because their blocking formulas are not perfect.

We have a great relationship with the ISPs because we are CANSPAM compliant and have a zero tolerance for spam. However, there are so many built in filters that it’s a smart idea to whitelist our email address james@hummingbirdsathome.com.

When you whitelist an email address, you are telling the Email company that you trust email coming from this source, and they know to deliver it to your inbox.

Thank you for subscribing, I’ll talk to you soon, I have some great things planned for you!

Kind regards

James
