If your organization uses a private domain, Expensify emails may be blocked at the server level. This can sometimes happen unexpectedly due to broader changes in email provider's handling or filtering of incoming messages. Consult your internal IT team to assist with the following:

- Ensure that the domain expensify.com is allowed on the domain email servers. This domain is the source of various notification emails, so it's important it is whitelisted.
- Ensure that the domain expensify.com is allowlisted on the domain email servers. This domain is the source of various notification emails, so it's important it's recognized by your company's servers.
- Confirm there is no server-level email blocking
- Make sure spam filters are not blocking Expensify emails.
