How to "Whitelist" Email Addresses for AOL

-

 Why is a photography blog writing about this? Because more and more our web hosts are sending you automatic download links and AOL thinks we are sending you viruses or spam. :-) We have run into this MORE on AOL. That does not mean it does not happen on other mail servers.

Just so you know MANY but not all dog show photographers use this same web host so this will help you get ALL of our download links! 

Whitelist an Email Sender in AOL

You must add the email address or corporate domain of the sender to your address book or custom sender list to make sure email gets delivered to your AOL inbox. 

  • First, click on the "Spam Controls" link on the lower right side of your inbox screen.
  • A "Mail and Spam Controls" box will appear.
  • Now click on the "Customer Sender" list link and choose the "Allow email from ..." option.
  • Enter no-reply@shootproof.com, then click "add" and "save." 

In more recent versions of AOL, you can also simply add the name of the sender to your Contacts list. AOL will then recognize that this is someone you want to communicate with. Just click on the sender's email address. A menu should drop down. Select "Add Contact." 


This is a screenshot from my phone of what a link from us will look like! :-) As always if you have problems please feel free to contact us! :-)

What can I do as an exhibitor to help the photographer get that great picture? I get so nervous after a good win that it is hard for me to relax enough to make sure the dog is properly stacked etc. It must be that rush of adrenaline. Plus it always seems so rushed. -JO

It is an exciting time, the few minutes right after the win! A photo can seem rushed for sure, as there are usually 4 rings per photographer and with most superintendents, they all break around the same time. First and easiest for you, is to make sure you are ready to go. Take a deep breath and relax!  The photos are truly the easiest part. Remember, the judge has signed the book and cannot "take it back."  Thank the judge on the way to the ramp, podium, table or mats for the photo. this gets everyone back into the excitement, but is still relaxing.. (helps you get your thoughts out of your own head).. remember, you did this already to win!  If you have a coated dog, bring someone to help brush/comb the dog out, and to make sure things are lying the way they should. Then look at the dogs "feet" make sure they are set fairly well there.. I will tell you what to fix for the picture.   If for some reason you have not liked what you have received on a particul

Short Answers Part Two

We are in the middle of posts that are multiple questions that don't require longer answers. I am limiting these to three questions so there isn't as much information to take in! I would like to thank Kim and Odebt for these questions.  Please, without questions there is no blog so ask, ask, ask! Is it okay for the exhibitor to ask for help from the photographer? I would love to pretend this one confuses me. It is my job to help you, you shouldn't have to ask. However, I know that what is expected from photos and photographers has changed so much, that people are not longer looking for a nice photo to record their dogs win. they are now looking for the "perfect portrait" of their dog and themselves. I also know, that many photographers do not, never have, or no longer tell exhibitors what to fix, or what looks "off." This baffles me, as I grew up with photographers in our sport that ALWAYS told you what to fix, or what needed doing. I was TRAINE
