About the Accept and Filter Mail Lists

The Accept list and Filter list options are tools for customizing your Spam Filter.

• The Accept Mail List allows you to identify email addresses or domains that you always want to accept mail from even if the Andrew Spam Filter would normally filter the mail. The mail that is received from the addresses or domains on the Accept Mail List will be delivered to your INBOX.
  IMPORTANT! The Accept Mail list is NOT REFERENCED when the option to DISCARD SPAM is selected.
• The Filter Mail List allows you to specify email addresses and domains that you NEVER want to accept mail from. Mail received from email addresses or domains on the Filter list will automatically be stored or discarded depending on the filter option that you selected.

To use the Accept list and Filter list features, you must first build a list of email addresses or domains and then enable the Accept list or Filter list. The following sections include instructions for these tasks.
