A white list or safe senders list is a great way to control spam and
stop it form entering your inbox. However you if you have a new email
contact, sometimes you have to manually add them to your “whitelist” in
order to receive their emails.
Have you ever come across a message like this?
“Please check your “Spam” or Bulk mail folders for the email. Make sure you add us to to your “white list” or safe senders list.”
This means that people want you to add them to your whitelist so their emails will make it into your inbox.
