Introduction
Note regarding message filters: Message filters are an independent feature and are available in both classic and modern interfaces. With a message filter, you can effectively blacklist an address, but you cannot whitelist.
All changes made in webmail are effective immediatelyResolution Steps
-
The Proper Way to Whitelist / Blacklist a Domain
- Use the domain listed
in the Return-path header (To see this in WebMail, right click on the message and click 'Show Original')
- For
example, suppose we want to whitelist or blacklist a
newsletter from 6pm.com which happens
to have the following headers:
Return-path: bounce-17_HTML-14994285-32896-1058807-6610@bounce.email.6pm.com
From: "6pm.com" <email@email.6pm.com>
Subject: Nine West + Hush Puppies + UGG and more!
-
The correct string to add is bounce.email.6pm.com.
Just using 6pm.com or email.6pm.com
will
not achieve the desired result
- Strings containing syntax like @6pm.com or *.6pm.com won't
work either
- The @ and * symbols do not act as wildcard characters, since technically they are used in valid email addresses
