h1. 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.


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.

You can also manually add an e-mail address to the whitelist or blacklist.
