In-Depth Information
When you identify a piece of junk mail, you can add its sender to a
blacklist
. Any further mail from that sender will be automatically dis-
carded upon receipt. If you want to make sure that you always receive
mail from a certain recipient, regardless of your junk mail settings, you
can add that address to a
whitelist
, also called a
safe list
. Whitelisted
senders will always
have their mail
delivered to your
inbox.
blacklist
A list of prohibited email senders.
whitelist
A list of allowed email senders; also
called a safe list.
