Not Receiving Our Emails?

If you are not receiving expected emails from staff or you’re subscribed to one of our weekly newsletters but not getting it, a firewall or spam filtering service is likely the cause of the issue. These steps should resolve the problem.

    1. Check your spam/junk folder.
    2. If you’re using Gmail, check to see if our emails are under the “Promotions” tab. If they are, copy and paste the address in the “From” field to your Contacts list so our emails push to your “Primary” tab.
    3. If you still can’t find our emails, add the email addresses to your contact list. This should permit future emails through your email provider’s filter.

How To Whitelist An Email Address In A Security Program:

Certain firewall and intrusion prevention security programs can interfere (or block) emails from being delivered. If you already have added calvarynow.com to your whitelist but are still not receiving emails from us, you may need to also update the whitelist in your security program as well. This is less likely to affect web-based email programs — Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL — and more likely to affect desktop-based email programs, like Outlook, because they sit behind the firewall for an operating system or network. If your security program isn’t listed below, please visit the support webpage for your security program and search for instructions to add “safe senders” to the whitelist.

Note: Some security programs prompt you to restart your computer to allow the changes to take effect.
