(Initally derived from https://freeads.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203237551-How-to-add-our-email-address-to-your-safe-senders-list)
To make sure you receive emails from Swim Club Manager (SCM) please add
to your email's safe senders list (AKA a whitelist). A safe senders list or whitelist is a list of email addresses that you want to receive email from.
In addition, if you find an email from [email protected] in your spam or junk folder tell your email software that it's not spam by hitting the not spam or not junk button, as that will train your program to allow emails from these addresses in the future.
Here are instructions on how to add email addresses to your safe sender's list for some of the most popular email programs:
