> Ensure iSqFt Email Delivery

In order to help prevent the constant stream of spam from reaching their customer's Inboxes, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have started using filtering systems. Sometimes, these filtering systems accidentally filter the e-mail that you want to receive. In many cases you are not notified (and neither is iSqFt), that an iSqFt email didn't get through. To make sure that iSqFt ITB notifications, addenda notifications, support email replies and daily Project Update emails are not filtered into your "spam" or "junk" folder, please add iSqFt to your list of trusted senders. Follow the directions below.

No matter what e-mail system you are using, adding the following domains and e-mail addresses to your address book will help ensure you recieve iSqFt email:

  • Domains:
    • isqft.com
    • mail.isqft.com
  • E-mail:
    • *@isqft.com
    • *@mail.isqft.com

Please add iSqFt to your Trusted Senders list now, before your delivery is interrupted.
