h1. 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: joe@domain.com and amy@domain.com. If joe e-mails mary@hotmail.com , mary@hotmail.com will become whitelisted for both joe and amy. If mary@hotmail.com decides to write to amy@domain.com or joe@domain.com, her e-mail will get through without being filtered. For more details on this, please see our page about [whitelist / blacklist on domain level|http://wiki.polarismail.com/display/Support/Manage+Whitelists+and+Blacklists].


You can also manually add an e-mail address to the whitelist or blacklist, as described below. Notice that the best way to add whitelist records is using the Spam  reports, as it automatically delivers the e-mail and adds sender to your  whitelist. Our system uses the Sender instead of the From in the e-mail  header, both for blacklist and whitelist, which is automatically done  if you authorize e-mails through spam reports. If you enter an e-mail  address manually to your black or whitelist and notice it doesn't work,  check the e-mail header and look for the *X-Barracuda-Envelope-From:* field, which should be used. Yet another possibility is that the sender  might change each time you receive a certain e-mail. In this case, you  can use [Rules|../../../../../../../../../../display/Support/Configure+Incoming+Support:Configure Incoming E-mail+ Rules] to delete undesired messages, based on part of the From header address or subject.
