There are so many possible combinations of services, and platforms on which they're hosted (web, desktop, mobile), that we're unlikely to catch them all. You may be able to use some instructions above that seem close enough, that they'll get you where you need to go, to get the job done.

If you have personal experience with successfully implementing this process on your specific email service and platform, that disagrees with the instructions above, or if you have suggestions for how to whitelist our email address for other known environments, please email the committee, so we can correct these instructions!
