Safelisting HubPages emails
In order to ensure that you get emails from HubPages, you may need to add the domain address @hubpages.com (and/or the address editor@hubpages.com) to your safelist/whitelist or address book to make sure the emails don't “bounce” due to spam filters set up by your mail provider or service.
Please read the instructions below on how to safelist/whitelist HubPages so you get mail from us (If you want the newsletter but not other HubPages emails, please read how to specify that here).
Don't see your provider/software below? Add editor@hubpages.com to your address book, and check your documentation on how to make that address a trusted sender.
