How do I manage the customized blacklist and whitelist in the anti-Spam System?

The anti-spam system provided by the Center allows users to use notification mail or the mail reporter to set customized blacklists and whitelists. Email from whitelisted senders are always considered valid, while email from blacklisted senders are marked as spam. (Since the Center’s SMTP server is whitelisted by default, adding this server on your customized blacklist has no effect). Users can add important contacts to the whitelist to avoid emails from said contacts being sent to the spam folder. Whitelisting can be done in the following way:

I. By notification email

Configuring the whitelist

To configure the whitelist from the daily anti-spam notification email (as seen below), follow the steps below to select the specific emails and tell the system you wish to accept all emails coming from these senders without filtering.
