Manage Whitelists and Blacklists
Besides being able to manually whitelist or blacklist an address for the entire domain, Administrators can also manage the automatic whitelist. The automatic whitelist is a domain-wide whitelist built from the e-mail sending patterns of all your users. It ensures that communication with trusted recipients always goes through without being filtered.
Whitelist / Blacklist an e-mail address
PolarisMail automatically whitelists e-mail addresses that you communicate with, for your entire domain. For example, within your domain hosted with PolarisMail you have two users: [email protected] and [email protected]. If joe e-mails [email protected] , [email protected] will become whitelisted for both joe and amy. If [email protected] decides to write to [email protected] or [email protected], her e-mail will get through without being filtered.
You can also manually add an e-mail address to the whitelist or blacklist.
