Certain firewall and intrusion prevention security programs can interfere (or block) email from Ad-Din. If your contacts aren't receiving your emails and you already had them whitelist your "From Email" address in their email client, they sometimes also have to update the whitelist in their security program as well. This is less likely to affect web-based email programs, like Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL, and more likely to affect desktop-based email programs, like Outlook, Thunderbird, or AppleMail, because they sit behind the firewall for an operating system or network.
If you don't see your contact's security program listed below, they'll have to visit support webpage for their security program and search for instructions to add "safe senders" to the whitelist, or contact them directly.

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