E-MailSpam FilterArticle #4
White & BlacklistsWhitelistA whitelist is a list of accepted items or persons in a set. When a spam filter keeps a whitelist, mail from the listed addresses, domains, and/or IPs will always be allowed. Whitelists are used to reduce the incidence of false positives, often based on the assumption that most legitimate mail will be from a relatively small and fixed set of senders. To create your personal whitelist for this e-mail address/box click on the button. This will open a new window where you can enter e-mail addresses that will be allowed to send e-mails to this account. In the "Create a Whitelist" window, you will need to enter the e-mail addresses.  Each address needs to be on it own line.  Click on the OK button to save the addresses to your whitelist. BlacklistA blacklist is a list or register of entities who, for one reason or another, are being denied a particular privilege, service, or mobility. In computing, a blacklist is an access control mechanism that means, allow everybody, except members of the blacklist. The opposite is a whitelist, which means, allow nobody, except members of the white list. In the "Create a Blacklist" window, you will need to enter the e-mail addresses.  Each address needs to be on it own line.  Click on the OK button to save the addresses to your Blacklist. Related ArticlesWhat is Spam Protection?How do I set up spam filtering for an e-mail?
