Whitelisting an email

An email whitelist is a list of approved or ‘safe’ email senders that tells your email client that you know and trust the email address (or addresses) you are getting messages from. More often than not, users have to manually add a domain or a sender’s address to the whitelist within their email client. The process varies between the different email clients.
