Here's how I'm currently doing it: I have a filter called "Not Spam Domains" - it's the very last filter on my list before I get to the spam filters. The Action on the filter is to move the messages to folder Inbox. The box to continue processing with other filters is unchecked. The Filtering Strings and Alternatives are the domain names of domains where I know that nothing coming from those domains is spam. These are mostly companies I do business with where some of their e-mail has, in the past, been falsely targeted as spam by my filters. Right now the way I add to that list is by going through my spam folder. When I find a false-positive in theree - some mail which is NOT spam - I open it, manually cut the domain of the sender into the clipboard, and then paste the domain into a new set under the Alternatives tab of the "not spam domains" sorting rule. I'd like to find some way of automating all that cutting-and-pasting so I just have to press a couple of keys, or click a button, to have benign domains added to a domain whitelist.
