Missing an important message from a client, a password reset link, or a newsletter you love is frustrating and can even be detrimental to your business or personal life. That&#8217;s where whitelisting comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whitelisting is the process of adding a trusted email address or domain to a list of approved senders. When you whitelist a sender, you&#8217;re telling your email hosting service to bypass its usual spam filters and deliver those messages directly to your inbox. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/lookafter.com\/hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lookafter Email Hosting<\/a>, you have two primary methods to accomplish this: <strong>Global Email Rules<\/strong> and the <strong>Webmail Address Book<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s an informative breakdown of each method, helping you decide which one is right for your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 1: Global Email Rules (Global Application)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ensure important senders never get filtered for anyone in your organization.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to whitelist a sender for <strong>all users under your domain<\/strong>, Global Email Rules is the best method. This is ideal for businesses that want to guarantee that critical emails from specific sources are never blocked or sent to spam \u2014 no matter who the recipient is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>How it Works:<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Email Rules apply to every email account under your domain. Once an email address or domain is whitelisted here, emails from that sender bypass spam filters for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>When to Use It:<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This method is perfect for administrators who need to ensure that an important <strong>external<\/strong> sender&#8217;s emails are never missed by any user in the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scenarios:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key business partners:<\/strong> You have a critical vendor, supplier, or partner whose emails are essential for your business operations. A global rule guarantees that all employees receive messages from that domain, such as <em>invoices@supplier.com<\/em>, directly to their inboxes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Internal systems from different company domains:<\/strong> If your organisation operates multiple domains or subsidiaries, emails sent between these domains may sometimes be flagged by filters. Whitelisting ensures smooth delivery of internal communication across all company entities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Essential third-party services:<\/strong> An external service like a project management tool or a CRM platform sends automated notifications that everyone in your team needs to receive. Whitelisting the service\u2019s domain <em>(@servicename.com<\/em>) ensures these critical updates are never missed by anyone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Basic Steps:<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Login to your <a href=\"https:\/\/lookafter.com\/login\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email hosting control panel<\/a> (with an <a href=\"https:\/\/agnx.com\/helpdesk\/doku.php?id=faq:administrator:what_is_avomaster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">administrator<\/a> account).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to Profile &gt; Admin &gt; Global Email Rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add a rule to allow the sender\u2019s email address or domain (e.g., pass *@trustedpartner.com).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Update to save the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: For full instructions and examples of rule formats, refer to our main <a href=\"https:\/\/go.agnx.com\/27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Email Rules guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> Use Global Rules only for trusted senders.
