How can I ensure I receive emails from ASPB?
You can help ensure that you receive all emails from ASPB by making sure that ASPB’s sending domains have been whitelisted in your email client and by your spam filtering service provider. Whitelisting an email address or sending domain ensures that emails sent from us reach you, instead of being marked as spam. You may need to contact your university for help with whitelisting for university-based email boxes.
ASPB’s sending domains are @aspb.org and @plantae.org
