# How to safelist Indie Email for internal email delivery (anti-spoofing & spam filters)

## Learn how to safelist the Indie Email network, so your team never misses your newsletters

If you use Indie Email to send newsletters, announcements, or updates to your own employees (e.g., sending from `mypublication.com` to `mypublication.com`), your organization’s internal email system might flag or block these messages.

This article will explain why this happens and how your IT or email admin can allowlist the Indie Email network to ensure delivery of newsletters to your team.

### **Why Internal Emails Get Blocked?**

When you send a newsletter through Indie Email using your company’s email address as the sender:

1. Your email filter checks where the message originated.
2. It sees that the email claims to come from your company domain (e.g., `@mypublication.com`), but physically came from Indie Email's servers.
3. The filter flags this as **email spoofing** or **phishing** to protect your publication, and may accidentally block newsletters from your team.

To fix this, your IT department needs to create an anti-spoofing bypass or safelist policy for our sending infrastructure.

### **How to safelist Indie Email in your spam filter**

Instead of using individual IP addresses, which can change as our infrastructure scales, we route mail through a central delivery domain: **`md02.com`**.

### **How to update your safelist**

 Ask your IT team or email administrator to add **`md02.com`** to your email gateway’s safelist or anti-spoofing bypass list (e.g., in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or Proton).

- **Domain to safelist:** `md02.com`
- **Type:** Sender Domain / Authentication Bypass / SPF Domain

> **Note for Admins:** safelisting `md02.com` covers our entire delivery network. This dynamically ensures that all legitimate messages sent via your account bypass internal spoofing rules without breaking if our IP range expands.
