Blacklisting & Whitelisting
If you have email through rdcsshosting.com, you may have seen email come in with the following appended to the subject line:
***posible spam if not please white list***
This tutorial will explain how to accomplish that goal.
WHITELIST – a list of email addresses or domains that are always allowed to send you email
BLACKLIST – a list of email addresses or domains that are never allowed to send you email
To add an email address to one of these lists:
- Open cPanel (http://yourdomain.com/cpanel) and log in.
- Go to the Email section.
- Click on Spam Filters.
- Click Show Additional Configurations at the bottom of the list.
- You will see three options:
- Whitelist Settings
- Blacklist Settings
- Calculated Spam Score Settings
- To add an email to either Whitelist or Blacklist ([White/Black]list), click to Edit Spam [White/Black]list Settings.
- You will see three options:
- You can either enter a full email address (name@domain.com) to receive all email sent from that address, or a wildcard (*@domain.com) to receive all email send from that domain.
- If there is no line available for adding an email, click the line +Add A New “White/Black]list from” item.
- When you have all desired emails and domains entered, click Update.
- You can then go back to cPanel or close the page.
