Emails from MLS going to Junk/ Spam Folders

The current MLS System - ListIt uses a method of email referred to as Spoofing.  Due to the frequent mis-use of this method, almost all email systems now send spoofed email to the junk mail folder.  It is possible for your client's to "Whitelist" or pre-approve all email from your address so that it goes to their inbox.  However the method to program this is different for every email system (AOL, yahoo, gmail, exchange, etc.)  One solution is to open the MLS in one window and your email in a separate window.  Rather than email directly from the MLS, you can use the copy button:


Then in your email, create a new message to that client or prospect.  Edit your subject line, then in the body of the message, paste the link from your clipboard. (in Windows, press Ctrl and V together).  Then add any personalized message you would like to include and click send.  I would encourage you to test this with your own email address so that you see what it looks like before sending to a client.
