Fixing ATSAlist Email Delivery Issues
Emails from the ATSAlist come from mail-list.com and are tagged with [ATSALIST] in the subject line. If these messages are landing in spam or being deleted automatically, follow the steps below based on your email provider.
Step 1: Whitelist the Sender Domain
Add the following to your contacts or safe senders list:
- From domain:
@mail-list.com - Subject tag to look for:
[ATSALIST]
Step 2: Instructions by Email Provider
Gmail
- Open your Spam folder and find an [ATSALIST] message.
- Click the message, then click "Not Spam" at the top.
- To prevent future filtering: Click the three dots (⋮) menu → "Filter messages like these"
- Click "Create filter" → check "Never send it to Spam" → click "Create filter"
Outlook / Microsoft 365
- Go to Settings → View all Outlook settings → Mail → Junk email
- Under Safe senders and domains, click Add and enter:

- If messages were auto-deleted, check your Deleted Items or Junk Email folder first and mark as Not Junk
Apple Mail (iCloud / Mac)

mail-list.com→ deliver to Inbox
Step 3: Check Your IT/Organizational Filters
If you access email through a workplace or institutional account, spam filtering may be managed at the server level by your IT department. In that case:
- Contact your IT helpdesk and ask them to whitelist
mail-list.comas a trusted sending domain. - Share mail-list.com's official server IP whitelist page with your IT team — it includes all server IP addresses and CIDR formats needed to authorize delivery at the network level.
- Reference the mailing list tag [ATSALIST] to help them identify the messages.
For IT administrators: Mail-List.com operates several networks and guarantees that no spam is sent or relayed from any of their servers. All subscribers have confirmed and approved delivery via a confirmed opt-in process. A full list of server IPs is available at mail-list.com/about/whitelist and as a downloadable PDF.
Step 4: Confirm Your Subscription is Active
If whitelisting doesn't resolve the issue, verify that your subscription is still active:
- Visit mail-list.com and check your subscription status.
- If needed, contact the list administrator or reply to a previous [ATSALIST] email to confirm you're still subscribed.
