Re: [Declude.JunkMail] WhiteList Per User or Domain? on Thursday 3:33:30 PM
Thanks, all. This is something that would be a wonderful feature in
Declude. If the %MAILFROM% was sent to the destination user and he or
she could add this address to their whitelist of senders, this might
be an extremely big feature indeed. Not sure how all this fits
together, but I might experiment with the catchall and/or weights to
see how far I can go with this. I think I mentioned this to you
earlier, Scott; If you could have the user edit their addressbook in
Imail web mail as a whitelist, and Declude used this, then the user
could manage their own whitelist. Then if a mail is turned away they
could just add this email address to their addressbook in web mail to
turn on the receiving of mails from that user in the future.
