Email blacklists and whitelists
Specific email addresses or domains that send users spam can easily be blacklisted. Emails that are unintentionally getting marked as spam can be whitelisted, which is the reverse of blacklisting.

Note that Whitelisting an email address within The Console will not prevent it from getting placed on a DNSBL. Below is a table explaining the various Whitelist/Blacklist options available on Cloud Hosting.

Sender Whitelist | Emails sent from from sender whitelisted domains/addresses will bypass all filter. |
