Our spam filter has the capacity to set up whitelists, which let you designate some senders whose emails to you will not be scanned, and blacklists, lists of senders whose emails to you will be outright rejected. This can be useful if you subscribe to any opt-in mailing lists, as they are frequently marked as spam. On the other hand, you might find that some spam is not blocked by our filter; you can add the senders to your blacklist to solve that problem.

To set up your whitelists and blacklists, log in to WesMail and click the little plus sign next to "My Account" in the left sidebar. Then click "Filters" in the menu that appears:

This will bring you to the filters page, where all of your email filters are listed:

Click on "Whitelist" or "Blacklist," depending on what list you want to add a sender to. Enter the addresses, one per line, in the large box. You'll probably want to keep the options at the top of the Blacklist as they are:

To remove an address from your blacklist or whitelist, simply delete their email address from the list. (The list is just a text box, so you can type -- and backspace -- in it as usual.)

In addition, you can click on the "Whitelist" and "Blacklist" links at the top and bottom of messages you view in WesMail. Reporting a message as ham will also automatically whitelist a sender; see how to report spam for more information on this.
