Q: How to stop OYT Scotland emails from going to my spam?
A: Due to the format of our emails – including lots of pictures and offers – they are often marked as spam. You can “Whitelist” (add us to your safe senders list) our email address / domain to make sure you receive all future updates. N.B. Our emails can come from a number of addresses (e.g. Office@oytscotland.org.uk, Bookings@oytscotland.org.uk etc.) instead of adding all of these, you can simply whitelist our domain (the “@oytscotland.org.uk” part).
