How to setup Trusted Senders in SmarterMail

It is important to check your Webmail account on a regular basis to manage your Junk E-mail folder. Mail flagged as spam or junk email won’t be delivered to your Inbox in Outlook, Apple Mail or other mail applications.

If legitimate email messages are being marked accidentally as spam, and you know they are from a legitimate email address, there is a way to rectify this problem by using the Trusted Senders feature in SmarterMail. This feature allows you to “whitelist” email addresses or domains, thus bypassing the spam filter.

If messages from a known or a legitimate email address are being marked as spam, you can rectify the problem by using the “Trusted Senders” feature in SmarterMail. This feature allows you to whitelist email addresses or domains so they will bypass the spam filtering rules you have set up.
